Missing Gnomes

An Amherst yard is a little bare today, thanks to thieves targetting lawn ornaments.

The suspects stole eight statues in al, five of them gnomes, the other three frogs, from a house on North Bailey.

The homeowner is hoping the robbery is really a kidnapping and her statues will be returned.

...

Last June, about 30 stolen garden gnomes were found on top of a business on Sheridan Drive arranged in a circle. They were found with a note reading "gnomes were born free and should live free".

1. I hope that doesn't happen to me! I love my lawn decorations.

I have a lawn gnome, pink flamingoes,a Virgin Mary statue, and others. Somebody stole a Dracula Halloween decoration from me last year, so they might be back for my other treasures.

we have a fantastic garden yard- absolutely no grass whatsoever...and for the past few years, people have been taking the hens from my hens and chicks in the front rock garden.
