When the National Post<\/em> carries a story about someone purloining one of the wise men figures from a church in Brooklin<\/a>:<\/p>\n

\n

Durham Region police reported that the 6\u2032 x 3\u2032 plywood cutout of one of the Three Wise Men was stolen in the early morning hours Dec. 12, and the church had said they would like it returned.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s a bit of an insult,\u201d said Brooklin United Church council chair Rick Barnes.<\/p>\n

Mr. Barnes said the thieves were caught on camera, and said they appeared to be \u201ca bunch of kids goofing around and having fun.\u201d The wooden cut-out, which was fastened to a metal post and then attached to the larger constructed scene, would be hard to remove quickly, he said.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt didn\u2019t take all night but it took them a considerable effort to get it removed,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

Mr. Barnes said that although Brooklin United doesn\u2019t plan to make a big deal out of the incident, it is unfortunate for the church, who have limited resources to begin with.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Brooklin is kind of a quiet place . . . but even here, this isn’t really a big story. Why the National Post<\/em> bothered to report on it, I can’t begin to imagine.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
