DON'T TELL THE POLICE - TELL IT TO THE FAIRIES

Dear Ed ,

Re: Watch those gnomes

I feel that I must tell you my story of gnomes and garden ornaments.

On Friday 4th February 2005 my wife and I returned home from an evening out to find that a heavy garden ornament and its plinth had been stolen from our front garden in Mill Lane.

I was what I thought lucky to have my CCTV turned on, and yes it had the pictures of two people in the process of lifting and removal of that ornament through the gate and down the lane.

The CCTV even gave the names of those two people as they addressed each other; one was Michael and the other was Nathen.

The Police Officer who collected the CCTV film from us said that the film was clear and that the police would have no problem in catching the thieves. That was over a year ago and we have not been told a thing about the incident.

My moral to this story is that if you have gnomes or ornaments stolen from your garden don't tell the police tell it to the fairies.
