General relativity doesn't conserve energy in some spacetimes, so it's not unheard of.

I'm fairly certain GR conserves momentum, even if it doesn't conserve energy.
I thought so too until recently, but in GR energy and momentum are unified in an energy-momentum metric which is only locally conserved [1].
