My gnomes don't steal anything, they hide them until I no longer need them. Then they lay them out in plain view. Have a great day every body,

As short as the Shop Gnome Deterrent's arms are, how did he reach down to grab the little buggers?Don
I'd be wary of unintended consequences with this particular deterrent. You could go from having a shop gnome problem to having a shop T-Rex problem.--Tim

I sometimes think the gnomes and elves are not the problem.Even better may be some bottled...Chris-Be-GoneBill-Go-WayJo-Come-HereDon-Keep-DancingEric-There-AboutsZee-Do-Nothinghee-hee. This group can come up with better monikers products.
Today I dropped a stainless steel part, 1/2 inch diameter, about 1/2" long into the chip try of the lathe. Something got it- I swept out the entire tray into a dust pan with a small brush and looked at every brush full. I never found it. I have lost small parts into the chip tray, but this was so big I was sure I could find it. I had to make a new part, after spending longer looking than it took to make. Something had to grab it.
Oh yes the ferrous gnomes. They leave the brass and Ali bits for the others.Bill

Something had to grab it.Unfortunately, it's not always them (elves, gnomes, etc.) but us. By which I mean, it's sometimes our own fault.I can think of several times where I was blaming someone else for my glasses going missing only to be told they were on my head. Or looking for my keys only to find them in my pocket.Don't get me wrong. I'll still blame the elves, gnomes, etc...in hopes of looking less silly. What's really bothering me lately is, after an hour long search, finding the thing in plain sight. If the thing could talk it would have been saying..."Right here! I'm right here you dolt!".
