ON THE CRIME BEAT
Okay, I couldn't help but comment on this story. Thieves steal a 200 pound statue of Christ from a midtown Manhattan church but leave behind the Cross on which it rested.
Maybe the theives were lazy and the cross was just too much work.
It could be they were heavily into irony. You see, several people drag crosses over their shoulders in New York. How many walk Manhattan's street lugging Him around?
Perhaps they were just sentimental and wanted to remember Him "the way He was."
I did find it interesting to find that the statue was "bolted to the cross in four places." The actual Jesus was only attached in three places as I remember it.
