Dozens of gnomes in sheriff’s custody

BURLINGTON — Gnomes had been disappearing in the Bayhill neighborhood, but nobody realized how many until the wind blew down Lisa Soneda’s fence.

There in her neighbor’s yard were gnomes, lots of them.

There were red-hatted gnomes, green-hatted gnomes, few-inch-high gnomes and foot-tall gnomes. There were dozens, along with other yard statues including a deer, a squirrel and an owl. A variety of glass garden globes stuck into the ground beside them.



The Skagit County Sheriff's Department hopes that some of the 66 garden gnomes taken into custody can be identified by their owners.

The Sheriff is going to be a little busy finding homes for all of them.

Who knew they roamed in packs?

It is going to be a stone cool ***** to find them a place to stay.

I'm sure the Sheriff could build a shelter if he got some supplies from Gnome Depot.

Gnomely I would agree with you, but the smaller shelters are in short supply.

That's a shame, they really  do need a gnome of their own.

There is talk of sheltering them on the range. Not the cook top, but the oven. It would be gnome, gnome, on the range.
