Holiday tip: GPS tracking devices can keep your festive decorations safe

GPS-Jesus.jpg
One nativity scene in Wellington, Florida was and will be packing some high-tech gadgetry to guard against theft. Last year, Baby Jesus, asleep on the hay, also had a GPS tracking device (or a "G-P-S implant," as Fox calls it) planted inside of him so he could be tracked if stolen — and it was, by an 18 year old girl who was found by authorities thanks to the device. This year, the Christmas tree, Menorah and anything that may tempt thieves will also be GPS-equipped.

It's nice to see covert GPS trackers being used for good, as they can certainly be exploited by the other team, as well.
