Mel39 Posted December 24, 2007 Share Posted December 24, 2007 A statue of the infant Jesus on display near Miami in Florida is being fitted with a Global Positioning System device after the original figurine was stolen. The near-life-size figure forms part of a nativity scene in Bal Harbour city. The original vanished three weeks ago, despite being bolted to the ground. Dina Cellini, who oversees the display, says the statues of Mary and Joseph will also be fitted with a satellite tracking device to deter thieves. She said: "I don't anticipate this will ever happen again, but we may need to rely on technology to save our saviour." A Jewish lawyer, Jeffrey Harris, from Cincinnati, who read about the theft on the internet, has donated the new Jesus figurine in the Founders Circle area of the city. Mr Harris, who celebrates Hanukkah, not Christmas, told the Miami Herald: ''I felt bad. How could someone steal a baby Jesus? Even though I am Jewish, I like the Christmas spirit.''
