The Great Garden Gnome Heist cont.

Well months and months and months ago, I made this post: The Great Garden Gnome Heist Well we are some lazy people and it took us a very looooooong time...but tonight, we finally took the gnome home! Since we never did mail the postcards, we decided to make a little suitcase with stamps on it from all over the world. Than we put all the postcards inside. Each one even has a little message! We pulled up to the poeple?s house under the cover of night and a VERY heavy fog. Silently we crept up to the front porch where we left the gnome as well as the little suitcase. Than quicker that you can imagine, we dashed to the car and sped away! It was great!!! When they open their door tomorrow, they are in for a lovely surprise!!! Here are some pictures of everything.
The gnome
The suitcase
Well I hope you all enjoyed this little story and I really hope those people have a sense of humor! Peace

I went by the house today...the gnome is on the porch still but turned towards the street looking happy to be home. The people must have found the suitcase as it is not by the gnome anymore. I really hope they enjoyed it!

hahaha! Thats cool,Spiffy! I'm sure the owners will never look at that gnome in *quite* the same way again! Perhaps someday you can "re-liberate" the little fellow, take a picture of him and a female gnome (with a postcard from a Las Vegas wedding chapel), return him, then find some tiny little gnome figurines and leave them at their doorstep as well! heh

yeah I saw that movie too...
the whole gnome thing would be cool, except everybody knows it from that movie.. I get the feeling that people would be like "hey wait a minute this is just a spinoff prank by somebody who saw that movie."
However, if they never saw the movie, then it would blow their mind. way to have motivation to do stuff man.

ya i would love to think of something like that. i dunno - it's like in Disney Land - they have a town or something on the park and like every house has this code and they have to look alike and you're esp . not allowed to have ANY pink flamengos on your lawn... and this guy who lives in the town goes around every night planting Pink flamengos on the resident's lawn... each time it's a different lawn. i thought it was quite funny - no one knows who it is either and it's been going on for a while. sometin to giggle at.

This is some funny shit... I like the idea of stealing the gnome again and coming back with baby gnomes.

actually, this is an idea that existed long before "Amelie" Its a little prank that was played quite a bit in the 70s and 80s but has almost died out these days. I wish I could take credit for it being my original idea but it definitely wasn't. Still REALLY fun to pull off, though!!!!
I LOVE the idea of taking it again and returing with baby gnomes! I just might do that someday....but maybe with a different gnome. That one was in my bedroom 8 months and I swear I slept with one eye open. That motherfucker was plotting my death....seriously. It was time for him to get back to his garden. Next gnome I steal won't be all fucked up on giant mushrooms!
