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.”

Me too, you clearly need your little eyes to be shielded
from anything that you don't like and can't understand.
I hope you are shielded from as many bad things as your keepers
can manage. You should take time to thank them, Snowflake.

My cardiologist doc and my wife......................
Several years back when student were coming in for the last day of school, hundreds of gnomes were on their schools front lawn. Apparently as a senior prank gnomes from the whole district found themselves there. The local police requested those missing gnomes to stop by to collect them.
conceivably a russian imperial stout in a chocolate cheesecake..
Cast off the chains they have laid upon you and be free.
Unfortunately, there’s a 8 inch scar down the middle of my chest that reminds me every day that is where it came from.................
