Uh, wasn't God supposed to be watching over them?

This is a very poorly-written article that leaves more questions than answers.

What exactly is this $12,900 device? How big is it? Was it bolted down or is it more like a television remote control somebody left on a church pew?

What use is this device to the thief?

Something doesn't smell right about this. Maybe it was an inside job?

Dear Orly,
God "watches" but rarely interferes. It's called "free will" my friend. You have free will to steal, kill, lie, or other of mankinds failures, or in your case, just be plain rude. God still loves you in spite of yourself.

Wow. Now things are so bad, or some people are so brazen, that they steal from the church. Theft of the property is no different than taking tithes out of the basket. Pretty disgusting. Who in the heck would do something like this!?

Bigger than a breadbox? Of course there are no fingerprints - the device with the fingerprints was taken away!
