SPRINGFIELD, Ore. — A number of gnomes and other creatures have taken sanctuary at the Springfield police station.
As part of a prank, somebody stole 75 lawn ornaments from around town and placed them meticulously on and around the lawn of one house on Oct. 17, police said.
Among the figurines are plastic and porcelain geese, deer, frogs are gnomes.
Police took them back to the station to help find the rightful owners.
