No place like gnome: 10 wayward garden figures found on Mont. trail

HELENA, Mont. -- Helena police are looking for the homes of 10 wayward gnomes found on a Mount Helena trail.

Police chief Troy McGee said the gnomes were found Monday evening on a popular hiking trail on the city's south side.

The garden gnomes are believed to be stolen, but apparently their owners haven't reported them missing.

McGee told the Independent Record that police contacted residents who have recently reported their garden decorations stolen and have not been able to find any matches.
