Due to a high amount of thefts, many churches, organizations, and families are getting creative in their ways to keep their nativity scenes intact.
In Bal Harbour Florida the Baby Jesus will be equipped with a GPS device after a previous baby statue went missing, even though it had been bolted down.
Mary and Joseph will also be fitted with GPS devices and a four-foot high plexiglass screen has also been installed in front of the display according to Dina Cellini, who oversees the whole scene.
“I don’t anticipate this will ever happen again,” Cellini said, “but we may need to rely on technology to save our savior.”
