Baby Jesus stolen from Va. church nativity scene

Someone stole a baby Jesus figure from a nativity scene at a Virginia church, and Arlington County police are looking for the thief.

The Calvary United Methodist Church on South Grant Street says on Facebook that the figure was taken sometime after 8 p.m. on Saturday, January 2.

There is a sign where the baby Jesus used to be that says, "Baby Jesus Missing. Please Return. No questions asked."

The figure was tied down by fishing wire and was cut, police said.

While we would love to *share* Jesus with anyone, we'd rather not lose him from our nativity scene. Taken sometime after 8pm on Saturday, Jan 2nd.
