Somebody apparently collected 75 lawn ornaments from around town and then, on the night of Oct. 17, placed them meticulously on and around the lawn of one house. Among the plastic and porcelain geese, deer and frogs are gnomes, such as a weather gnome outfitted with a rain gauge. Police want to find the rightful owners. "We need to get them out of here," Capt. Richard Harrison said. "Every time I leave my office they're sitting in my chair, working on my computer. I can't seem to get rid of the darn things." There will be a public viewing Tuesday. "If they come here and they can identify it," Harrison said, "we're more than happy to let the gnome go home." After that the gnomes, and any other ornaments, will be sold at auction. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
