Jesus comes in many forms and flavors: buddy, raptor, animated, internet and historically accurate (aka, black, aka, real) are just some of the ways he appears. However, there might be a new one arising (in three days, of course)-trailer park.
A valuable relic, a small piece of wood said to be a part of the cross on which Jesus was crucified, was stolen from a Boston church. Investigators looked high, and investigators looked low, but nary a splinter could be found. Until a tip was given. Police then went to Vermont to find the relic. Where did they find it?
In a trailer park. Possibly right beside a bottle as well. And a rusting air conditioner window unit.
Richard Duncan, a partner in the burglary, called Vermont state police from a trailer park about the item as he was arguing with an accomplice about it. Said partner, Earl Frost, returned the piece of wood to the barracks, but has now, for all intents and purposes, disappeared, contrary to the desires of the police.
Just how valuable was this object?
Church officials estimated the relic’s street value at between $2,300 and $3,800, but said the item is “priceless” to the church.
Of course it was.
What I got from this: never trust a man named ‘Dick Duncan’.
What also to get from this: hope that you never meet a man named ‘Dick Duncan.’
