ARVADA, Colo - An Arvada woman woke this morning to discover that almost all of her 200 garden gnomes have been stolen from her front yard.
"Sad, that you can't have anything nice anymore," Gibson said.
Mardean Gibson estimates that at least 150 gnomes were stolen. She had the tiny bearded creatures arranged in a tiny gnome village, complete with mushroom homes.
"Either they want it for their own yard, or they want to sell them, either on Ebay or Craig's List," Gibson said.
It was a collection that took years to build. Gibson's son was livid over the theft.
"I think it's pretty low, they're gnomes for goodness sake, gnomes," Todd Gibson said.
Arvada police are investigating, and have no leads. Gibson is begging who ever took the gnomes to let them roam back home.
"I'd like for them to be returned, but I don't think that will happen," Gibson told us.
For now, Mardean says no to more gnomes. "I say that now, but maybe it'll be a different story next week."
