Churches Using GPS To Keep Track Of Baby Jesus

The matchbox sized device is attached to the figurines and tracked online.

Every year, baby Jesus figurines are stolen from church Nativity scenes; a problem some churches didn't know how to handle until now.

Now, If baby Jesus is snatched by a sticky-fingered heathen, the matchbox-sized tracking device will alert the owner to the theft:

Brickhouse Securities gives out free GPS devices to qualified religious institutions. Then they track the movements.

"We then monitor it from our cloud-based mapping system, and set up alerts so that they'll get a text message or an e-mail if Baby Jesus is in motion,” said Todd Morris, CEO of Brickhouse Securities.

Religious groups can apply at www.brickhousesecurity.com for their free GPS device.

This is the eighth year the company has offered the free program, called...what else... 'Save Jesus.'
