The Great Garden Gnome Mystery in Yorkshire

A strange mystery happened last month in a quiet village in Yorkshire. Fifty small garden gnomes disappeared from local front yards in one single night.

Villagers were shocked. Who stole all the gnomes? What happened to them? The local police had no clues at first.

People thought thieves sold them online. But last Tuesday, all fifty gnomes returned to their gardens. Even more strangely, every gnome came back with a small camera and photos from Paris, Rome, and Berlin.

One happy owner said, 'My gnome went on a better holiday than me!' The police still cannot solve this funny mystery.
