travelling gnome prank
The travelling gnome prank is the practice of returning a garden gnome "to the wild". It involves stealing a gnome, taking it on a trip, and photographing it at famous landmarks, with the photos being returned to the owner.〔, from Gloucester, UK〕
There are many clubs and organizations dedicated to the prank. The best-known of these is the Garden Gnome Liberation Front.
== Origins ==
The earliest record is in Australia in 1986, when the following text appeared in the Sydney Morning Herald on 24 September: "An Eastern suburbs gnome-owner was distressed when she discovered her gnome had been stolen at the weekend. A note was found in its place: 'Dear mum, couldn't stand the solitude any longer. Gone off to see the world. Don't be worried, I'll be back soon. Love Bilbo xxx.'" The tradition of travelling gnomes dates back earlier, with Henry Sunderland sending gnomes around Antarctica.
