Came across this story about a garden gnome being “kidnapped” from it's home in England and taken on a round the world trip taking in 12 countries including Thailand, Australia and New Zealand which lasted for 7 months. It was returned to it's owner last week along with a photo album which contained 48 pictures of the gnome on it's travels.
I suspect that the gnome's missing feet arises from an over zealous customs search for contraband rather than an abseiling accident.
Turns out that this is not the first occurrence of a gnome being treated to travels in foreign parts, there was another instance last year. Interesting to read the reaction from the local police force, it would appear either that they have lost a sense of humour or more likely they have become too focused on easy crime detections as the result of the government's obsessions with targets.
Meanwhile the local government body in Birmingham appear to be confused about in which country they are located.

If I had a gnome and he was missing, I'd hope he'd see the world. How fun would it bee to see those pictures? Now, I'd also like to have seven months to travel the world.
Linky.
rt, think that we would all like to have the time and cash to spend 7 months travelling.
Noddy, cheers loon!
