Ever heard of garden gnomes being stolen?
I haven’t… Never really could see the use of them anyway.
I heard an interesting story though…
A group of friends recently went on holiday, and decided to take a gnome with, so they ’stole’ one from a house in a near by neighbourhood.
The gnome was treated like a real person, and was named Boris – they even set a place for him when they took him out for dinner!
Boris went to the beach with them, filling stations, and even got a ride on the lifeguards’ truck.
Everywhere Boris went they took photographs of him, and ever got a couple of pretty girls on the beach to kiss him – obviously also photographed.
At the end of the holiday, they paint Boris (coz a whole year outside in the wind and rain does make him look a bit worn out.), and also they put him back in the garden where they got him from.
In the mailbox they print all the photo’s they took of Boris while he was on holiday, making sure not to enclude any photo’s of themselves, coz they might just be recognized.
Think I should try it something – just make sure the gnome u take is a ‘plaster-of-paris’ gnome, and not a concrete one.
You might have some trouble carrying one of those around!
