Jesus Gets GPS

by on Jan 15, 2009 | 2 comments

This story is a bit old but still pretty darned good. And being this is a Florida story (where PCMech is based) makes it even better.

Every year during the holiday season there are Nativity scenes placed out for public display. And, sure enough, some fool thinks it’s a laugh to go and steal the Baby Jesus figurine.

Fed up, one church (of many) decided to mount a GPS device inside the Savior. And it worked. Sure enough, Jesus was stolen but this time He was tracked down in short order. An 18-year-old girl who did the dastardly deed was quickly found and arrested.

If GPS is good enough for the King of Kings, it’s definitely good enough for you. Remember, GPS technology is available to anyone who wants to use it. If the tech confuses you at all, don’t worry, there are places that will happily do the dirty work for you.

    Thanks, Rich for a good story, but also for the way you handled it. I tire of flippant way that some stories about anything “Christian” are written in many sites. I have found the good writing style as much as the relevant topics here at PCMech as the things that keep me coming back to your site.
    Thanks again. – Mark

      Thanks, much appreciated. I figured since the end result of the story was a happy ending it was a-okay to post here. :-)
