The figure of the infant Jesus was stolen first, and the figures of his parents, Mary and Joseph were stolen the next day, along with the crib and straw.

The priest and parishioners, as well as the Mayor, expressed their disappointment and outrage at the theft of the Nativity figures, valued at several hundred euros each from l’église Saint-Cyr-Sainte-Julitte.
