No hate crime here....from the same Star Ledger article

Lou Saverese, a resident of the street where the car was found, felt as if a mystery had been solved. About three weeks before Christmas, he said, the baby Jesus in his Nativity scene disappeared.

"My wife thought the wind might have taken it away, but then we noticed other people on the block were also missing their baby Jesus," he said.

Then, in a park down the road, he saw two more plastic Jesus figures hanging from a telephone pole. Police cut them down.
