Sounds like a very weird form of kleptomania. If the woman had been stealing to them to resell, it would make some sense, but stealing them just to hide an ever-increasing crowd of them in your own back yard is totally bizarre. And it sounds like they were mainly from people nearby, so it’s not like she could even use them to try to impress her friends with her unusually lavish collection of garden gnomes, because then word would get out and she’d have been promptly caught.

It’s clear that the gnomes were secretly mustering an army. The Gnomish rebellion has been nipped in the bud...for now. Keep your eyes open.

Wonder if the kidnapper is charged with “petty larcency”?
