The 55-year-old man crashed a mini cooper into a metal railing in Tadcaster, North Yorkshire, and then hid between hay bales and baby Jesus in a nativity shed.
North Yorkshire Police arrested the man and posted a photo of the car on social media, causing a stream of witty tweets from social media followers.
