Garden gnomes are in the news again. Police in Lyon reported recently that about 100 garden gnomes were "liberated" from front gardens in the French city and placed in a park next to a motorway. "They were all standing there with their faces to the motorway, watching the traffic speed past," a police statement said.
It is not known who took the diminutive figures, but when an arrest is made, they will need a good criminal lawyer.
"Owners can pick up their abducted gnomes from a police department office," the statement said.
No-one has claimed responsibility, but a "Garden Gnome Liberation Front" has been causing a nuisance for years in France with its pranks.
