"Kidnapped gnomes found in snowy forest

Published: 20th January 2006 18:04 CET

Twelve garden gnomes kidnapped in western Sweden a month ago were found on Friday in a snowy forest, standing in a ring beside a lighted bonfire and a small hut, Swedish news agency TT reported.

"It looked very cozy," Bo Larsson, a police officer in the town of Kil, near Karlstad, told TT.

The gnomes mysteriously vanished from their gardens just before Christmas.

A letter from the "Garden Gnomes Liberation Army" later claimed responsibility for their disappearance, explaining that the dwarfish figures had pined for freedom.

Larsson said the gnomes had, however, declined to collaborate in the investigation.
"We've tried to squeeze them for information, but they're staying mum," he said.

The police station extended its opening hours on Friday so owners could come by and claim their property."

I heard that the Sandanista and Zapata movements started in the exact same way. First the gnomes are all happy with what they've got. Next thing you know they're asking for equal distribution of wealth or some such hijinks. All they need are some illy Klashnikovs and BAM there's your movement.
