A couple has been left baffled after six garden gnomes mysteriously appeared in their front garden without any explanation.
Christine and Stephen Lock, who are the Mayoress and Mayor of South Molton Town Council in Devon, said in the last 18 months six of the friendly-faced ornaments have turned up on their lawn in the middle of the night.
Mrs Lock said while the gnomes do ‘bring a smile’ to her face she is determined to find out who is planting the creatures and fears she might end up with a ‘whole garden of gnomes’.
Christine Lock, who is Mayoress of South Molton Town Council, has grown to love the mysterious gnomes that have turned up in her garden. Since February 201 six of the statues have been planted around her home.
She said: ‘I just remember coming home one day and didn’t take much notice.
‘I just thought, "Oh well, someone got rid of a gnome and didn’t know where to put it".
‘So I left it in the garden, but shortly after another came along.
‘I posted on Facebook to say thank you to the person delivering these little creatures to our home - implying that if they wanted them back, they were more than welcome to come and collet them - but nobody ever has.’
The pair believe that someone is creeping into the garden at night
