As the summer approaches, gnomes have started to creep back out into gardens all over Coventry and Warwickshire.

Reports are coming in that the area is being flooded with novelty garden items and our investigations show this may well be true.
Acting on a tip-off, we went out into Warwickshire with a camera and were shocked by the quantity of gnomes, ornaments and plant-filled boots on offer.

We are now launching an appeal, to broaden our search and to gather a firm body of evidence that gnomes are inhabiting our area in dangerous numbers.
If you see a gnome, statue or novelty planter, please let us know, either with a message or photograph sent by email or post.
Reports are coming in that suggest concrete creations have a strong-hold over fiberglass, but we need more evidence to be sure.
Ìý Concrete is the new plastic.

A considerable number of gnomes have already been spotted in the Coventry and Warwickshire area.
Some have been snapped covertly, others have been seen parading themselves boldly out in the open.

Any pictures you send of gnomes and novelty garden ornaments will be added to the gallery and to the body of evidence we are accumulating against the miniature invaders.

We would also like you to tell us about the most gnome-infested garden you see. We will send our cameras along to the most frightening examples, to bring you videos and virtual tours of the gnomes at large.
Just email us addresses, directions, photographs and descriptions using the link on the left.

Remember, be careful out there. While our reports haven't explicitly recorded any violent behaviour from the gnomes, we believe they are still a potential source of harm.
The Â鶹¹ÙÍøÊ×Ò³Èë¿Ú will not accept responsibility for any damage to people or property in the gathering of gnome evidence.
