Garden gnome liberationists - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

As modern-day garden gnome folklore developed and their popularity increased, the objects became the target of pranks, known collectively as gnoming. Gnoming activity includes the theft of garden gnomes for the alleged purpose of returning the inanimate garden gnomes "to the wild." In 2008, a 53-year-old French man in Brittany was arrested on suspicion of stealing as many as 170 garden gnomes.

The goal of Gnome Liberation is to help set gnomes back into their natural environment.

The practice of stealing garden gnomes is also sometimes referred to as "gnome hunting." Some kidnapped garden gnomes have been sent on trips around the world (the travelling gnome prank). This variation on "gnoming" was popularized by the motion picture Amélie, in which the main character persuaded her father to follow his dream of touring the world by stealing his garden gnome and having an air-hostess friend send pictures of it from all over the world.

In 1998, there was another strike that has been attributed to the Garden Gnome Liberation Front. This strike was known as the "mass suicide". In Briey, a small city in eastern France, citizens woke up to find 11 garden gnomes hanging from a bridge with nooses around their necks. A nearby note stated, "When you read these few words we will no longer be part of your selfish world, where we serve merely as pretty decorations."[13]

For two years following the "mass suicide", the Garden Gnome Liberation Front was relatively silent. No major noteworthy acts were recorded until 2000, when a garden show in Paris displayed 2,000 garden gnomes. In a nighttime raid, the Front "liberated" 20 gnomes from the garden show. The Garden Gnome Liberation Front claimed responsibility, demanding that the Garden Gnomes be released into their natural habitat and not be ridiculed as cheap garden decorations
