A Christmas grinch has been stealing Baby Jesuses from New Jersey nativities and police are fed up.

A Morris County woman reported that the infant in her nativity, valued at $80, had been stolen, just one of multiple incidents of Baby Jesus theft in the same area this year and last, The Daily Record reports. Police are still searching for the thief.

Last year, two baby Jesus nativity pieces were stolen in the area. One of those was recovered, and one was paid for by a neighbor wishing to spread a little Christmas cheer.

“It’s a Christmas miracle,” Elaine Romito, the woman whose statue was replaced, told The Daily Record. “They only gave us their first names and said they lived nearby. The father’s name was Alex and the son, who looked like a teenager, maybe 16, was named Brian. They asked if we were the family who lost our Baby Jesus. When we said they were, they asked if they could replace it.”
