https://www.wjhl.com/local/baby-jesus-figures-stolen-from-nativity-displays-in-greeneville-kingsport/1663689948Two baby Jesus figures have been reported stolen from local nativity displays just a week before Christmas.
Organizers with the groups are asking for the public's help for a quick return of the statues.
Bennett Little, president of Kingsport Jaycees, said their baby Jesus was stolen from the nativity scene in Church Circle sometime between late Friday night to early Saturday night.
"This has happened several times in the past and usually the baby Jesus figure ends up getting returned by the end of the Christmas season," Bennett said.
He said the nativity display has been a tradition for the Kingsport community for 52 years.

Not that I condone stealing, but it's traditional for them to get taken just about every year. Then they're mysteriously returned. A miracle, ya' know.
Maybe this will get Faux News juices going to distract their poor confused viewers.

and until he made the scene the manger should be empty.
