"Deputies: Cache of 60 stolen gnomes found"

(UPI) -- A string of lawn gnome disappearances in Washington state was solved when winds blew down a fence around the yard where they were being kept, authorities said.

Lisa Soneda of Mount Vernon said her daughter told her this month that the fence separating her back yard from that of her next-door neighbor had blown down to reveal an unusual sight, Seattle's KOMO-TV reported Thursday.

"I looked over the fence and I think the first thing I said was: 'Holy crap!'" she said.

"Lots and lots of gnomes," Soneda said of the spectacle. "I counted like 46."

Skagit County sheriff's deputies said the total was closer to 60, and many of the gnomes, as well as other garden accessories, were found to have been taken from the yards of neighbors.

Deputies said about a dozen gnomes have been returned to their rightful owners thus far and the woman living next door to Soneda could face misdemeanor theft charges.

"This is theft," Chief Deputy Will Reichart said. "And I think to a certain degree, the victims feel a little violated somebody came on their property and took something that didn't belong to them."

"Space hotel says it's on schedule to open in 2012"

A company behind plans to open the first hotel in space says it is on target to accept its first paying guests in 2012 despite critics questioning the investment and time frame for the multi-billion dollar project.

The Barcelona-based architects of The Galactic Suite Space Resort say it will cost 3 million euro ($4.4 million) for a three-night stay at the hotel, with this price including an eight-week training course on a tropical island.
During their stay, guests would see the sun rise 15 times a day and travel around the world every 80 minutes. They would wear velcro suits so they can crawl around their pod rooms by sticking themselves to the walls like Spiderman.
