More than 100 lawn gnomes sit in the evidence room at the Police Department waiting for a city auction, where they will be sold, along with trucks, computers and even a front-end loader. But they are the most unique item at the auction, which is Thursday. - News-Record photo by Alton Strupp

So the cops are keeping the gnomes so they can steal people’s underpants on their behalf ?

I read a horror story when I was a kid about garden gnomes coming to life. I still don’t like the little devils.

If you hoped to get your hands on some of the garden gnomes at the City of Gillette auction on Thursday, you’re out of luck.

Its GNOMEAGEDDON.
