STEAMBOAT SPRINGS — Baby Jesus has been safely returned to his manger at the Holy Name Catholic Church in Steamboat Springs.
“It’s exactly the outcome we were hoping for, and we are grateful to the person who returned it,” said Betsy Johnston, who works at the church.
Steamboat Police Department officer John McCartin said someone called the police department at about 8 a.m. to report Jesus was back at the manger.
The figure was reported missing Tuesday afternoon.
This is the second time baby Jesus has been nabbed from the church. In 2009, a pair headed to a party took baby Jesus, Joseph and a lamb along. Then, a Crime Stoppers tip led police to the house where the figures were recovered.
