funny ransom.
Cheeky thieves have made off with a Victorian man’s garden gnome and demanded $10,000 or it will be returned "bit by bit".
Lyndon Langan was stunned to receive a ransom letter after noticing the 30cm gnome missing from the front garden of his home near Bendigo on Thursday.
A perplexed Mr Langan said the note contained a photo of the gnome and instructed him to pay $10,000.
"It said the ransom is to be taped under the lid of our rubbish bin on bin night, or else a bit will be broken off [the gnome] each week until we do," he said.
The note read: "Do not call the police, do not involve ASIO, do not hire a private eye."
"Do not try and be Rambo. We know where you live."
But Mr Langan said he had taken it all in a "light-hearted vein", believing it to be a prank dreamt up by someone with too much time on their hands.
"The poor little critter, he doesn’t deserve a death like this," he joked.

Tape it under their garbage bin lid? Wouldn't that be a clear indicator of where they live then? And this is a joke is it, well i could think of some pranks i could pull on the little sods.

Put some itching power under the lid.

What idiots lol. Still amusing that they actually expect to get 10000 for a garden gnome. He can always buy or steal another lol.
With great cars, comes great drivers.
i doubt they would think they could get that much for a garden gnome. id say they knew the bloke.
Sould put 10 grand worth of monopoly money under the bin lid for them.

No they don't expect 10000. It was a joke. Pretty clever one too. They steal a low value disposable item and demand high money for it! it's funny.
boosted!
Gnomes are people too man...
