The
statuette of Jesus lying in a manger, stolen from a public
display in downtown Fort Collins early Sunday, was dropped off
anonymously at a fire station Thursday, police said. It was
accompanied by a handwritten note saying: “I’m really sorry. I
made a dumb mistake in the moment. It won’t happen again.”
It was returned two days after police in the college town about
65 miles (105 kilometers) north of Denver, posted surveillance
video of the suspected Grinch on social media. The person
appeared to be a teen or young adult.
There's no other information about who stole the figurine,
police said Friday. The fire station has a motion-sensing door
camera but it was not activated when the statue was returned,
police said.
The business that takes care of the Nativity scene does not want
to pursue charges.
