I seem to remember from Crim class that using technology to figure out if something is in someone's house and then getting a search warrant based on that violates the 4th amendment.
Not the point of the article, I know, but that's where my brain went...
Hmmm...not sure I agree with the person who stated that to steal a baby Jesus is a prank but to steal a menorah is a direct religious target. Personally I feel that anything stolen from any religious display is just wrong on so many levels.
The GPS unit is a wonderful idea to hopefully avoid this situation in future holiday seasons. Although I don't know much about the law aspect if Bridgete's point is correct then hopefully it will at least act as a deterrant to anyone who might have thought about doing it, knowing they could easily be caught now.
