Are You Kidding Me?

BERLIN (Reuters) - Thieves have stolen scantily clad garden gnomes from a gnome peepshow in an eastern German amusement park, park manager Frank Ullrich said on Thursday.

"The gnomes display naked body parts -- the same ones you'd expect to see in a human peep show," Ullrich said of his missing stars.

The adults-only attraction at Dwarf-Park Trusetal, where visitors peep through keyholes to see the saucy German miniatures in compromising poses, was smashed open early on Thursday morning.

Ullrich said he feared the gnomes would not be traced.

"I doubt they're standing in someone's garden, they'll have to have been hidden inside."

Funny and sad at the same time. Maybe they will start showing up in pictures on the beach and in the mountains. There was a local story of a gnome that was 'kidnapped'. The owners if the gnome then started getting letters from the gnome with pictures. There was Jamaica and a ton of other places. It was a rather funny prank. If I recall correctly, the gnome did show up one morning in the owners garden, right where it had been when it was stolen.

This is similiar to the case about a ceremic duck that was stolen right off the owner's yard the other day. It too traveled around the world (the owner received photos and letters as well) and returned to the place where it had came from.

I guess someone just needed a hobby, lol.
