A woman stole a Padua, Italy, church's Christmas offerings after hypnotizing a 71-year-old priest, police said.
The
woman, described as a Roma, or gypsy, about 35, made off with 1,800
euros ($2,736) collected by Padua's Santa Giustina abbey during the
Christmas period, the Italian news agency ANSA reported Friday, adding
she entered the cloister area of the church where the presence of women
is forbidden.
The priest learned of the theft and alerted police after he came out of the hypnosis-induced trance, ANSA said.
