Bishop's cross returned
National Catholic Reporter, Feb 9, 2007
MOBILE, Ala. -- A pectoral cross stolen from the car of Archbishop Oscar Lipscomb of Mobile on Christmas Eve was returned to him after someone bought it at a thrift store for $6, the archbishop said Jan. 30.
"They got a bargain," Lipscomb joked. "The person who bought it was showing it to a friend whose mother recognized it and told them what they had. They called us, and we retrieved it. I was happy to get it back."
The thief or thieves also stole other symbols of the bishop's off-ice--including Lipscomb's gold shepherd's crook, miters and pallium. The items were in a black case, which was taken after the archbishop apparently forgot to lock his car door. No arrests have been made.
