Stolen gnome

Last week I was looking out on my patio and noticed something seemed wrong. You know, you look at something and you can't put your finger on it, but it's just off somehow?
That's what it was. So I've been looking out everyday trying trying trying to figure out what was wrong.

I finally figured out what it was. My little garden gnome, the only one that survived my daughter being 3, was gone. He was a lounging gnome with cheery red cheeks and an orange pointy cap. Not like the travelosity gnome, but cute, and small. Perfect for my little apartment patio, and someone has taken it! I suspect its one of the neighbor kids, we have some...challenged.. ones. Parents not so great kind of challenged. Anyway.. My gnome is gone. It wasn't expensive, it's just, it was my gnome. It lasted through moves and a toddler thinking they're toys(there were three) and he was perfect on my patio. I'm a little sad. Even looked in the bushes near the house in case he just got knocked off.. but he's gone.

Ok, that's my little "poor little gnome" thing.
