'I stole my neighbour's garden gnome because it scares my son - she's furious'

An anonymous man has admitted to stealing his neighbour's garden gnome from their front lawn - because it was terrifying his five-year-old son.

The man explained in a Reddit post that his neighbour, Cindy, has a large front garden and uses part of it for a "gnome village" where she has several garden gnomes on display.

But after she recently added a new gnome to her collection, the man's son has "developed a fear" of the garden statues and now refuses to play in his own garden because he's terrified of the ornament.
