redbarron77 Posted June 13, 2008 Report Share Posted June 13, 2008 53-year-old Gnome russler has been arrested in Brittany after going on a gnome stealing spree.The French man, suspected of stealing 170 gnomes, was arrested on Tuesday.Gnome disappearances are becoming increasingly common on the French German border where a shady organisation, the Garden Gnome Liberation Front, is taking hold.On this occasion, however, the suspect appears to have acted alone according to police.Garden gnomes have been omnipresent in German gardens for more than a century and some 25 million of them are estimated to exist in garden plots around the country.Created in 1872 in the eastern town of Graefenroda, they're a symbol of order and comedy.Although they're adored by many, others find them to be in poor taste, a kind of provincial kitsch invading the German environment.Reports of gnome theft have also occurred in Berlin, where some believe they were taken onto France where they were then “releasedâ€.There is even an International Society for the Protection of Garden Gnomes that seeks to protect this German creation.French authorities found some 170 gnomes in the Brittany man's small garden.He faces the prospect of jail.http://www.freethegnomes.com/index.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

redbarron77 Posted June 13, 2008 Author Report Share Posted June 13, 2008 I found it in the same place I find my jokes. When I saw the article, I had to look up the Garden Gnome Liberation Front, and found a plethora of information about the injustice we are doing to these innocent garden gnomes. In fact, the website offers jobs (non-paying) for people to write up grant justifications to get $$ from the US Gov't to help out our imprisoned miniature brothers.....
