Gnomewatch

by Harry on March 28, 2007

As the resident gnome watcher, I’m bound to report that the latest gnome kidnap case has gone to trial. The kidnapper faces jail.

Alloa Sheriff Court heard that the mother-of-three was arrested along with friend Ann McCallum, of Delphwood Crescent, also Tullibody, following an 11-day undercover operation involving officers from both Central Scotland CID and the force’s tactical crime unit.

I guess most of you are watching it on Court TV.

When gnome-stealing is a crime, only gnomes will have guns. Small ones. That look like fishing rods, until they open fire.

The article is great … “an aladdin’s cave” of gnomes … “missing gnomes cache” … it just needs a reference to GMDs.

Deliciously amateurish work.

But c’mon, comrades, if you want to get serious about it :

Any information on whether or not it was an ironic gnome?

I’m surprised that there is enough of a market to make a person think that selling them would be profitable.

I’m surprised that competition is so low to allow for a black market that would allow for someone to make a profit selling them out of their car.

There are so many things about this story that leave me scratching my head.

I’ll forward it to all of my buds, of course.
