I released my gnome from his box almost 4 weeks ago. I thought for sure I would find him by now. I have been going over ever inch of my Springfield looking for tourists and there is no sight of him. I know I can store his box and when I bring it back he will be in it. But I want to find him. So even if his box stays open to next Christmas, I will not give up. If any of my neighbors see him, please let me know.

It took me several weeks and I found mine by accident. Now I know exactly where to find his little rear end. In storage when the creepy looking thing belongs.

I've only released the gnome once since the event finished as it's an absolute nightmare to try and find again, it took me around 3 weeks to find him again and that was purely by accident as I was doing some design work and found it behind a building that I moved.

I haven't seen him in a few weeks

I'm never going to make the mistake of releasing the gnome ever again. It took me 3 weeks to find him too.If it helps, you can go in 're-decoration' mode and hide paths, buildings, fences, trees, monorails,... It's how i found mine little monster.

I've only found mine once accidentally. It was more than a pleasant surprise when I saw it. The feeling I felt was well worth the wait. I instantly released him again and look forward to when I run into him next time.

Think yourself lucky John as once it gets out of the box it doesn't want to go back in, I suspect that it has access to an invisibly cloak.

Where is Mad Eye Moody and his magical eye when we need him *sniff* :(

Was he the one to put the pixies back?

No, he was the Auror with the magical swiveling eye. Lockhart was the one who released the Cornish pixies and left the class to round em up.

I remember all that. It's been a while since I read the books, and for some reason I had it in my head that a teacher came in, threw a spell, and froze the pixies. Who was it that did? (Don't tell me...Hermione? )

You got it, Hermione indeed. The smartest witch of her age. :)

Finally found him after three weeks. He was in a nice empty green space without buildings, trees etc.

I still haven't found him. You would think that with all this tapping that I would at least hit him accidentally???

I had been searching for him for a couple of weeks, and the only reason I found him the other day is because he was there on a completely blank green area.

Think that this should be made into a PSA saying never tap on the gnome box as once it escapes you are extremely unlikely to be able to find it in your Springfield, maybe it would be wise to check behind your bookcase.

I call him Gnomer. He's off on an Odyssey. He likes to wander around. After all, he's a (wait for it...)
Gnome-ad! :p
