The kidnapping of a cafe’s beloved garden gnome in the Portobello area of Edinburgh, Scotland, has locals mesmerized.
The gnome went missing in early June from the Butternut Squash Café, which was soon sent a bizarre ransom note demanding no money, but cheesecake.
The cafe posted a pic of the note on its Facebook page which read: “We have your gnome. If you want to see him again leave 2 cheesecakes when you shut the cafe, We will be watching.”
The cafe refused to bow to the specific demands and instead left two pieces of shortbread outside the eatery with a note on social media that read: “Kidnappers your treasure awaits…”
The thieves were not impressed and sent another ransom note threatening: “Shortbread!!!!! We asked for cheesecake!!!!! You have 24 hours or your gnome gets dusty binned.”

If it is their own marketing idea, it’s brilliant.

Thats funny...
Travelocity is the #1 suspect.....................
I was listening to Coast-to-Coast one night. Caller claims Gnomes are real. In his living room he has a small house built for them. Puts a beer out for them every night. Claims the beer is empty every morning.
Isn't she that kooky Qtard that now thinks all medicine is poison
that millions of corpses are rotting in the street because they
got the EVIL SATANIC vaxijabination?
I hope nobody gives her cheesecake.
Claims the beer is empty every morning.
I believe him.
more cheesecake for us!
I love Scottish humor. That’s why I get Trumps humor as well.
That's what Jesus said and I believe HIM.
Sid Barrett hated gnomes too... and he had a cheesecake problem..

What size cheesecakes? As it is a garden gnome, I’m thinking a 6 inch cake would suffice.
I think he said make a man cheese cake and he eats for a day, teach him its simple to make and he has snackies all the time.
Step 1: Collect Gnomes.
Step 2:
Step 3: Profit!
Several decades ago, someone stole a pair of pink plastic flamingoes from someone’s lawn. The couple whose flamingos had been stolen started receiving postcards from around the world with a photo featuring the flamingos. They went around the entire world, then reappeared in the couple’s yard. Every time the couple received a postcard, they gave it to the newspaper, which published it.
Quite a hoot, actually.
see up thread, gnomes drink beer.
I’ve always thought you were annoying. But now, I just flat out don’t like you. Wish we had a block feature ob FR.
