Gnome? What Gnome!

An number of emergency services were called to a yard in Grevillea Drive yesterday when it was reported that a resident had found a WWII bomb in their yard. After careful observations were made the "bomb" was found to be a buried garden gnome. What caused some unthinking & cruel person to do this to a poor innocent gnome? Gnomes have a right to be left in peace or take a holiday as they see fit.

I have an understanding of how those who have been victims of gnomenapping are feeling. Why do people feel the need to remove gnomes from their happy surroundings & place them in ohter places where they are bound to become depressed & anxious. Who has my gnome? He was a lovely little fellow with a blue jacket & a red hat & he lived under the palms with a possum. Poss is very lonely now......I hope you are suffering from remorse gnomenapper!! (or a troll has gnashed your bones under a bridge somewhere)
