Season's greetings, Santa Cruz style: Just a week after a drunken man cut down Christmas lights downtown, two women have swiped the nativity scene from in front of an elder-care home in Live Oak.

The nativity scene was part of an elaborate display in front of Chanticleer Home. It was stolen at 1:24 a.m. Sunday, a time owner Silvio Tufo can state with confidence because it's on the video surveillance tape he turned over to sheriff's investigators.

More mayhem from the hippie haven - where tolerance reigns.

[vikingchick]

Yeah, it's either an anti-religious theft, or they want to sell the baby Jesus for drug money.

Lez-beans put out by the Christian symbols?

[vikingchick]

Or maybe they're wimmen or womyn.

[Dog Gone]

It's not enough to remove these scenes from public property. We have to remove them from private property, too.

This is entirely in keeping with the leftist mentality that what you do on your property is their business, and you simply don't know how properly take care of it yourself.

Santa Cruz is the epicenter of that mentality.

"...Or maybe they're wimmen or womyn..."

'wimmen'?

Are they the "I likes to go swimmin' wit bow-legged wimmen" kind of women?

[vikingchick]

LOL! Here's some wimmen: Wimmen's Comix Collective

[Salvation]

Let us know if there is any local follow-up here.

Christian and Catholic bump!

According to the sheriff's report they took: ``Baby Jesus and wooden bed; Virgin Mary; Father; wooden fire place; three kings; three camels'' and seven lighted stars.

Filtered or unfiltered?

[vikingchick]

Ha ha! And look at this: Baby Jesus and wooden bed; Virgin Mary; Father;

Shouldn't that be Joseph?

Hold muh frankincense.

[sarasmom]

Are they putting up any clips from the surveilance cameras?

This is disgusting!

[DWSUWF]

"...Here's some wimmen..."

Ahhh...

I remember those strange days!

I think...

[1redshirt]

They stole the horse that used to stand in front of the "Over The Hill Gang Saloon" on Portola St too

[hole_n_one]

Shouldn't that be Joseph?

If it was a CNN article, it would not have surprised me to see them describe Joseph as a blue collar, dead beat dad.

[Drippy]

Sounds like about the most idiotic thing to steal,right up there with stealing a pumpkin at halloween time.

[Texas_Jarhead]

sounds like religious intimidation to me. how about hate crime charges?

[vikingchick]

I wonder if this kind of thing qualifies as a hate crime? Not that they'll care in Santa Crazy.

Crucifixion. Bring it back now!
