Proof that evil reigns... even on Christmas Day...

Just as the sun was rising this morning, a holiday hoodlum broke into the Bongo Java coffeehouse on Belmont Boulevard and absconded with the world-famous cinnamon bun that looks like Mother Teresa.

The Nun Bun has been stolen, its owner said today.

Store managers were alerted to someone breaking into the coffee shop at 6 a.m., Bongo Java owner Bob Bernstein said. He called police immediately, he said.

He believes that the culprit is someone angry over the shop displaying, in the form of a pastry, the nun renowned for her good deeds throughout the world. A jar of money next to the "Nun Bun" was not stolen.

"They went right for the bun," Bernstein said. "Unfortunately I think it's somebody who wanted to take it to destroy it."

The bun, which had been covered in shellac to preserve it, had been on display nearly 10 years.
