He tried to snatch the gnome Nadziejnika. He failed, so he took his hat and scarf.

Father Grzegorz Kramer shared a video of an attempted theft of the gnome Nadziejnik in Wrocław. The incident occurred on the night of October 30-31, showing a man on a scooter trying to steal the gnome. After failing to pull it from its place, he took its hat and scarf instead. The gnome, which appeared in June 2024, is dressed for winter. The history of Wrocław's gnomes began in 1982 as a form of protest against the PRL regime, evolving into a popular symbol with over 1,058 gnomes now in the city.
