Christmas Crap Stolen in South Jersey

Family heirlooms?

Someone swiped Baby Jesus from this Nativity display on the Rzepnicki's lawn and over at the Szostak's, only a cow, smashed manger, Christmas star and unplugged extension cords remained. The Holy Family had gone missing.

According to the Press of Atlantic City:

A small rash of thefts from Nativity displays in the county has police asking for help and victims hoping for the return of what have become religious symbols and family heirlooms.

I shudder at the thought that somebody's tacky display is considered a 'family heirloom.'

There have been four thefts in the last few days and Middle Township police are hoping the public will help them find the culprits.

Perhaps they are going to award the thieves medals for ridding the township of tasteless lawn displays.

One can only hope.
