The very thrilling and covert process in which one scouts their local neighborhood(s) to find which houses have garden gnomes as lawn ornamennts so that they can come back after dark, steal the gnome(s), take random/awkward pictures with them, and then return the gnome(s). This can or can not be followed by having the pictures developed and anonymously putting them in the gnome owners' mailbox/on their front porch. Most also consider this as an act of charity for the gnomes and is commonly seen as "setting captive gnomes free into the wild." (See Facebook or Wikipedia for more information and/or detailed history)
