#### Camouflage Attack Gnomes on new streets

A lot of the streets i visit have a gnome by the signpost. It seems the layering of the two is off, as the gnome is often *under* the metal rock instead of in front of it (so I don't see anything but maybe its pointy hat). When I walk past and the gnome does his "someone is passing" dance, he pops out in front of the rock. Attack Gnome! Assuming this is a bug :)

- If you see one like this again, click the bug icon in game, and send us a report. That way we can get an exact location where this gnome was in this state and investigate. I don't see it that way from a quick test, so an in game report would be swell. :)

- This has happened to me too, while I was mining the metal rock. I snapped a pic of it (identifying info in the file name/description). The gnome remained under the rock the entire time I was mining it.

- see! they're laying in wait..ready to jump out at us! I even moved one to in front of the rock on my own street and was able to replicate the issue. See the evil little guy's shoes and hat poking out? He thinks i don't know he's there!!

- Actually, now I feel bad for not thinking to file a bug report on this one myself, but I saw the same issue several days ago (3/5/12) with a gnome and a patch on a new housing street: http://grab.by/cewy
  If I see this again I'll file a bug report in-game, but maybe the picture is helpful at least!

- BlackWolf...don't encourage subversive gnome behavior! First they hide behind rocks watching us, next thing you know they're stealing our cubimals and beta pickles while we're afk! :P

- jessypie, I think that's my gnome!
  kevbob, this happens very frequently on my street. I just filed a bug report for the latest incident.
  ETA: Clicking on either the gnome or the object has always fixed the problem.
