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.

Sgt Paul Cording from North Yorkshire Police's roads policing group congratulated colleagues saying "drink driver with no (frankin)"cense" is taken off the road."
The Department of Transport launched a campaign earlier this year called Think! to reduce people on the roads who believe they could have several drinks before driving.
Liz Brooker a Road Safety GB spokesperson told the Telegraph that one in ten people would consider driving after two drinks or more.
North Yorkshire Police launched a campaign earlier this month, #NYPdearsanta to encourage holiday drivers not to drink and drive.
