The Case of The Missing Gnomes.

[BIAD]

...PS - It has been known for Scottish Gnome-Nappers to take other peoples Gnomes on holiday with them,
then to send the real owner photos of the Gnomes from various exotic locations!!!!!  (I haven't done that!!!! (Yet!))

I've seen that before!
In one case, the Gnome was seen in many exotic locations and the post-card often offered
the Gnome's opinion of the place he was at. I can't imagine the focus one must have to pull
off such a prank!

There were sultry island locations with a backdrop of a calm sea and palm trees, eye-aching
ski resorts with scenes like the Swiss Alps behind the grinning Gnome and a jaunty stars-and
-stripes hat on the figure when it visited New York.

Of course, that was during the days before the Customs ramp-up.
