Mysterious Disappearance

We've been having this problem in our home for quite some time now. It has certainly gotten worse lately.

Keys disappear, clothes disappear, shoes, purses, you name it. Even those items that we carefully place at super special places so that they do not get misplaced. They are also disappearing.

If I had lived in my parent's time I would have gone to a thesaurus, the Idiot's Father, as people say in my country, to try to figure out what is going on. But in these modern days I turned on my computer and googled for an answer.

It took me hours of research but I have finally figured out what is going on: Gnomes! Seriously! They are tiny creatures with long, pointy ears, aka: goblin, brownie, kobold, leprechaun and Heinzelmännchen.

You don't believe me? Well, they have proven their existence to me and if you doubt it I invite you to come to my place and see it.

I have even found out some interesting facts about this creatures that I should add to Wikipedia.

This morning I put some bread on the toaster and went to my bedroom to get my robe. As soon as I heard the toast popping noise I went back to the kitchen just to find out that my toasts were already gone.

Frustrated, I looked for the bread to make more toasts, but, yeah, also gone. This creatures really seem to like bread and they leave a huge mess of crumbs all over the place!

I also fear that they will soon learn how to drive as I've just found out that my driver's license has also disappeared. Can you imagine my problem if I start getting tickets and have to prove to the cops that it was not me?

Oh, by the way, I've read about some fairies that will help you find your stuff if you just hop 3 times on one leg. But I can guarantee you that those do not exist as I have hoped at least 3,000 times on each of my now very sore legs and nothing has come back.
