A mystery person in Fort Collins has made Santa’s naughty list after his actions caught the attention of local police.
On Sunday, December 15, a baby Jesus figurine was stolen from a nativity scene set up in the Old Town Square. Fort Collins Police Services alerted the public of the missing figurine on December 17 through their social media page, asking for locals to ID the Christmas culprit.
Just three days later, the Baby Jesus was found outside of the Poudre Fire Authority Station #1. An apology note was left behind with the figurine saying the theft was a stupid mistake and won’t happen again.
Thankfully, baby Jesus has made it safely back to the manger with his parents, wise men and animals to await his birthday next week.
