I support the Garden Gnome Liberation Front; from Wikipedia: As modern-day garden gnome folklore developed and their popularity increased, the objects became the target of pranks, known collectively as gnoming. Gnoming activity includes the theft of garden gnomes for the alleged purpose of returning the inanimate garden gnomes to the wild. In 2008, a 53-year-old Frenchman in Brittany was arrested on suspicion of stealing as many as 170 garden gnomes.[6] ...several so-called garden gnome liberation organizations have been formed for the stated purpose of freeing the ceramic creatures from forced labor in gardens. Some of the organizations satirically argue that the inanimate gnomes are captured, sold, and kept as slaves, ripped from their Northern Woodland homes, stripped of their freedoms, and forced to tend to the gardens where they are set. Garden gnome liberation groups claim that they strive to protect the freedoms of these silent creatures in various ways, ranging from sending petitions to the owners and the government, to stealing and liberating them. Liberationists have often repainted the freed garden gnomes to make them unidentifiable,[10] and taken them to wooded areas or sanctuaries where liberationists contend they will be free from a life of miserable solitude.[11][12]
