Infant Jesus, along with his parents Mary and Joseph will get fitted with satellite tracking this Christmas in order to prevent thieves from stealing them. The nativity scene housed a life size statue of the infant Jesus. The original statue was stolen three weeks ago prompting the satellite tracking measure. A Jewish lawyer had donated the new statue. Jeffrey Harris told the Miami Herald, "I felt bad. How could someone steal a baby Jesus? Even though I am Jewish, I like the Christmas spirit. " Dina Cellini, who oversees the display, told the AP, "I don't anticipate this will ever happen again, but we may need to rely on technology to save our savior. "

A Pennsylvania woman has won a court decision after she sued Kmart over her toilet paper. The woman sued the retail chain because the store collected sales tax on the toilet paper - a nontaxable necessity. Mary Bach won a $100 decision, plus court costs. Bach said Kmart offered to settle the case of out court before a Thursday hearing in which the judge sided with her, but the settlement required her to sign a confidentiality agreement and she refused to do that. Bach said she wanted consumers to know what is and isn't taxable.

A German woman who claims Sir Paul McCartney sent a doppelganger to take a DNA test to prove he wasn't her father has had her case dropped. Bettina Hubers, 44, alleges McCartney - who she calls The Beatles' "cute one" - got her mother pregnant during a three-year affair in Hamburg. German prosecutors investigating fraud charges brought against the singer for allegedly sending a look-alike to the paternity test which took place in 1983 threw the case out of court on Friday, claiming the incident occurred too long ago.
