I need to get money from someone who has owed it to me for almost 5 months for a plane ticket through Travelocity. They have said that plane tickets are non-transferable. But it's on my credit card and if this guy doesn't pay me back, can I get Travelocity to transfer his ticket to me? Anyone have any experience doing that? [more inside]

Faux homemade posters asking "Where is my Garden Gnome" (with the URL of this site) have been popping all over my neighborhood in nyc. On the poster (visible here, pdf) is a toll free number with a funny "homespun" message. This definitely has the feel of some guerrilla marketing campaign. (Who would pay for all those toll free calls...) Or is it some new hoax art project? An (inefficient) email harvester (see the disclaimer on the contact page...)? What? Anyone have any idea? (btw: there was an Oct 28th MeFi FPP about gnomes, but the FPP link is dead... was this related?)
