- AmyVernon, on 12/13/2008, -6/+36That's ... I would say awesome, but actually it's sad.
- uhhNo, on 12/14/2008, -4/+31If I worked near you I would put up a poster of the eight I'd Really Rather You Didn'ts right beside your commandments poster.
- inactive, on 12/14/2008, -2/+27The three wise men will arrive on the 24th instead of the 25th because finding the manger is a piece of cake with the new Baby Jesus Lojack system. No more following some astrological portents that may or may not lead to our savior. Now we can ping the messiah!
- michaelpinto, on 12/13/2008, -8/+28I'd like to see a story on exactly who the creeps are who swipe these things!
- Loonacy, on 12/14/2008, -3/+23Why on your door? I could understand a personal copy kept in your office facing you, but on your door? That's just obnoxious.
- stenhard, on 12/14/2008, -0/+19Maybe they just evolved to the point they didn't need your car anymore?
- u8myfoood, on 12/14/2008, -1/+18All this time, agnostics have been seeking to see whether or not God exists, turns out all you need is a GPS tracker...
- Defiant001, on 12/14/2008, -12/+28They are not stealing it, they are throwing it out. Nobody wants to read your propaganda... Keep it to yourself
- roijen, on 12/14/2008, -1/+12Well they are still kinda following a star, as it were, in the sky.
- ryan83189, on 12/14/2008, -9/+19It should but won't, digg is a bandwagon site and this month it is anti-religion. The hate you so called "Intellectual Atheists" have for religion is on par with the hate you despise religion for. Posting "***** Religion" in a board that only talks about manger scenes being stolen shows how much blind hatred you really have.
- vinceislegend, on 12/14/2008, -2/+11I guess this means that somewhere out there is an underground Baby Jesus black market.
- weech, on 12/14/2008, -3/+12finding Jesus on my Garmin is easier than finding Jesus in my heart.
- skeletorcares, on 12/14/2008, -1/+9If you don't want people displaying their religious beliefs (jesus should not be idolized), don't display yours(jesus should be idolized). Keep it private. It's tacky anyways (on both sides).
- partrow, on 12/14/2008, -0/+7Where I work my office door is not my own. It belongs to the company.
If I post something on the inside of the door, it is obviously meant for me, whereas if I post it on the outside, it is meant for others.
It is simply out of place and very poor taste in a business environment to try to influence others with religious ideas or doctrine.
Because of this it is considered offensive behavior at many companies, especially those which do business globally and hire all types of people from a variety of cultures and backgrounds. - partrow, on 12/14/2008, -6/+13Why do you think you are so important that you have to tell others how to behave?
Keep your didactic ideas that someone else probably indoctrinated you with to yourself.
In our company such behavior is not tolerated. - boydrew, on 12/14/2008, -2/+9there can be only one....
- sanman, on 12/14/2008, -1/+8If only the 3 wisemen had this
Or the little drummer boy had a TomTom - DanielShinall, on 12/14/2008, -2/+8Poor Baby Jesus has no privacy.
- OneLess, on 12/14/2008, -1/+7I hate when people do that kind of thing; I've had 2 Darwin Fish stolen off of my car :(
- doctechnical, on 12/14/2008, -3/+8I though the plural of Jesus was Jesii.
- inactive, on 12/14/2008, -2/+7Why don't they steal Santa Claus for a change, wait no that's happened too. One year some years back in Panama City Fl. the Santa Claus "statue" type thing they had been putting up for years got "decapitated" it was all over the local news. Was very funny, there was a reward offered and all that good sh!t.... I appreciate going after capitalism, and the commercialization of a Christian holiday much more than the attack of poor Jesus. I mean Santa has a big fat house, billions of toys, A wife, elven "slaves" (which he probably makes pornography with), and what's Jesus got? a manger, that's some sh!t.... I can't stand all the "emotional extortion" that goes along with the holiday season, screw Santa, and screw Coke a Cola for inventing him, bastards.........
- Disgod, on 12/14/2008, -0/+5Gotta love technology, you don't even need a bible to find Jesus anymore.
- OneLess, on 12/14/2008, -2/+7I think the world would be a much better place if certain institutions and ideas didn't get respect just by virtue of being institutions and ideas. In my opinion, respect must be earned and I do not respect religion because it has not earned my respect. If people do not feel that my beliefs have earned their respect, then they're free to criticize them; I won't be complaining.
- TVarmy, on 12/14/2008, -0/+5Hmm, a series of man made satellites creating a constellation for navigation, similar to how the shepherds/magi followed the star in the nativity story. This almost sounds like something out of Evangellion.
Crap, I think I just went on the deep end of nerdiness. And in the anime side of the pool, no less. - InfiniteNothing, on 12/14/2008, -1/+5The thieves will start employing EMPs?
- imhalfpirate, on 12/14/2008, -1/+5I like to think of Jesus as an Ice Dancer, dressed in an all-white jumpsuit, and doing an interpretive dance of my life.
- snaglepuss, on 12/15/2008, -1/+5Buried for being anti-intellectual. Seriously, if that's they best you can come up with, you might as well not even try.
- BossKey, on 12/14/2008, -1/+5>Now we can ping the messiah!
ping: sendto: No route to host - sanman, on 12/14/2008, -0/+3Actually, it uses a constellation of between 24 and 32 Medium Earth Orbit satellites - but close enough.
- MCA2142, on 12/14/2008, -1/+4This story reminds me of "The Ref."
Quite possibly the best holiday family film. - affordableweb, on 12/14/2008, -2/+5damn perverts
- OneLess, on 12/15/2008, -1/+4@feliks2: In your opinion. Fortunately, no one's being forced to look at my car if they don't want to, including you. It's also my property, so I have the right to put whatever I want on it, and I should be able to be confident that nothing's going to be stolen off of it.
- Suilenroc, on 12/14/2008, -0/+3Find your salvation...with the new TomTom system!
- Betrayer, on 12/15/2008, -0/+3they are bragging about how it is done... so this is how its undone....
Helium balloons and some clear fishing line should keep them looking for hours. (maybe even days)
- inactive, on 12/14/2008, -1/+4I don't think anybody ever really stopped to consider the possible need for the plural of Jesus.
- museamongmen, on 12/14/2008, -0/+2correction:
GPSJessii - EvilFerret, on 12/15/2008, -0/+2Wow, pretty old stuff. Of course I was hearing about this on the radio about a week back.....Even then I was thinking....."I've heard this before...". I swear the same story about GPS in baby Jesus dolls came out the same time last year and maybe previous years before it. This isn't anything new, I think they just present the story every year to deter people from doing it. I suppose it's a solid plan and probably makes people think twice about doing it.
Overall for people like me and my fellow geeks....It seems like a great way to get revenge on somebody you don't like. Take out the GPS unit, plant it on their property.....Good times. - prodigitalson, on 12/15/2008, -0/+2Mostly teenagers.
Never underestimate the "cool factor" of having a life size baby Jesus painted to look [insert teen subculture of choice here] on one's wall.
Or you know... jsut breaking it in a creative fashion. - Testiculese, on 12/15/2008, -0/+2I guess praying for their return isn't cutting it, eh?
- feliks2, on 12/14/2008, -0/+2But if I were referring to several Jizeye?
- gavdana, on 12/14/2008, -1/+3Okay, I'll bite

- iStoleBabyJesus, on 12/14/2008, -1/+3OH NO! I'm RUINED!
- sanman, on 12/14/2008, -0/+2he should at least buy a cell-jammer before Dad calls him home too quick
- snaglepuss, on 12/15/2008, -0/+2Now it's become a game of placing baby jesus GPS devices on trucks traveling the country.
- Kriztov, on 12/14/2008, -0/+2I remember one year in South Australia, the brewery christmas lights had its baby jesus stolen. We all thought it was this one guy who usually does stupid stuff to people's christmas lights, wasnt him tho.
Note: Brewery Christmas lights is an annual thing. - feliks2, on 12/14/2008, -0/+1hmmm, good idea, thanks
- MasterMahan, on 12/15/2008, -0/+1Step 1: Steal a bugged Baby Jesus.
Step 2: Switch the Baby Jesus with one in a different nativity scene.
Step 3: Religious warfare. - adc86, on 12/15/2008, -0/+1I'm certainly not disagreeing with you concerning the negativity inherent to the spirit of gluttony and consumption around this time of year, but to equate that spirit with capitalism is to equate a flat tire with a car.
I don't know where you are, but most of the people in the US subscribe to some sort of quasi-Keyneist ideology, and thus identify more with Socialism than communism (big or little 'c'). If this country was communist you wouldn't see the ridiculous infatuation with individualism that borders on isolationism; you wouldn't see such a high percentage of the population driving what resemble war vehicles. You wouldn't see the situation that's the basis for your exact point.
Forgive me if you just missed the sarcasm and thought I really was anti-capitalist... Beyond that, what I 'lose' at and what you're inferring by the latter statement is lost on me. - Sethiuss, on 12/15/2008, -0/+1Blind hatred? My hatred for religion doesn't make me do all the awful things religion has done.
The blind hatred that I have is for organizations that have slaughtered millions of people over several millennia and continue to do so to this day. The hatred I have is fueled by the dogma preached by religious organizations that promote bigotry, racism, sexism and and hide under the guise of respect for religious freedom. To say that you are not "that kind" of Christian is hypocritical. Thats like me saying "Im not that kind of cop." I can't embrace half of my job, I gotta do the whole thing. So then, why call yourself a Christian? Either lose the need for a social mediator to embrace your own spirituality, or embrace the bat-***** insanity of your religion. Religion is one of the only organizations that is exempt from being attacked becuase its labeled as culture. Now, if your culture makes you do illogical stupid things and that is applied to a public arena, I really have no reason to respect that. -
