Baby Jesus Thefts Thwarted by GPS Tracking Saints
Free GPS Rental Offer For Churches & Synagogues

December 3, 2008 -Each holiday season hundreds of religious organizations are targeted by vandals and pranksters who steal or deface outdoor holiday decorations such as Baby Jesus, Santa, & Menorahs. Some are taken as “trophies,” most are lost forever. The financial and emotional cost to the congregation includes the cost of replacement and the pain of explaining the event to small children.

LightningGPS, a leading supplier of GPS Tracking Devices, has a history of lending GPS Trackers to churches, schools, & towns. This year, Lightning GPS strikes down sinners by offering the free holiday rental publicly to schools and churches across the country through their distribution partnership with BrickHouse Security.

A GPS Tracking Device can track objects virtually anywhere in the world and is small enough to covertly fit inside most everyday objects. If that object is moved or tampered with, a silent alarm is triggered, alerting the owner that the object is on-the-move. At the same time, an individual or police can go online and instantly track the item on a map anywhere it goes.

“The theft or destruction of Nativity scenes is a rising problem. Every year we hear how the sanctity and harmony of the holiday season was ruined by a few scrooges.” said Todd Morris the CEO of BrickHouse Security. “We are happy to come to the aid of Churches, temples and schools looking for a way to protect their community from this crime.” BrickHouse Security, a distributor of Lightning GPS products, is also offering custom hidden cameras in an effort to catch thieves this holiday season. “We have partnered with Lightning GPS to donate hidden cameras that will catch people in the act for video proof. Along with GPS Tracking, the vandals can be prosecuted and the statues returned swiftly.” Mr. Morris continues, “Hopefully word spreads that random statues are fitted with GPS Trackers inside, which is enough of a deterrent to prevent this from happening in the first place.”
