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.”

Whenever I ready your posts, I get an image of this scraggly, weathered old fart

Well done, fart watcher.
Gee, doesn’t he have a blog for that? /giggle
Worked with a guy whose last name was Pope and he had a 4” Pope Ignatius statue on his desk. We stole the Pope and put him in a bubble mailer and sent him to Hawaii with a disposable camera. Came back with pictures on the beach with young ladies in bikinis.
Took him on a trip to Vegas & took pics at landmarks there. We had a lot of fun with it & the co-worker was amused by our shenanigans.
I bet the whiskey is disappearing too...
No, those were the entryways that you caulked. I didn't have the heart to tell you. The "plants" you watered were the Walmart greeters. They seemed cool with it.
