Away in a manger on Bethlehem\u2019s public square, a woman approached a statue of the baby Jesus one dark, December night. Then she stole it.<\/p>\n
The theft, from a Nativity scene outside City Hall, raised alarm in this eastern Pennsylvania city that shares a name with the real Jesus Christ\u2019s birthplace.<\/p>\n
When the missing baby Jesus was found, it had been damaged, and Bethlehem\u2019s police chief had to glue its leg back on. Then the city took action, positioning a concealed security camera exclusively on baby Jesus and assigning police officers to monitor the footage. In the two years since, the statue has been left at peace, asleep on the hay as the camera, nicknamed the \u201cJesus cam\u201d by some residents, rolls.<\/p>\n
\u201cIf anybody looks real close, they\u2019ll see a crack in his leg,\u201d said Lynn Cunningham, a leader of the local chamber of commerce.<\/p>\n
