God Smites a Filthy Thief With a Saint’s Statue

As Antonio points out,

A thief who tried to break open the donation box in a church was hit on the head by a falling statue of a saint, police in Munich reported on Sunday. The man suffered a nasty cut to the head and fled the St Benno Church without the donation box, said Ludwig Sperrer, the church’s priest. He said it seemed that the near-life-size statue of Saint Antonius had fallen from its wooden plinth as the would-be thief was trying to break open the donation box which was situated in the same wooden structure. “He obviously did not want to let it go,” said Sperrer with a grin. But the thief was obviously not convinced to change his ways by the falling saint – he went to a nearby house to ask for help with his bleeding head and his lady accomplice stole a wallet left lying on a counter.

Good for God. Now if he would just smite the rest of the totally depraved thieves, molesters, and murderers as well as politicians, lawyers, and neer-do-wells the world might learn a lesson.
