Fishing for garden gnomes?

The NCC would like their gardening implements back:

"The Ottawa RCMP Traffic Section and their partners are currently investigating an accident that occurred this morning. A large truck from a landscaping company parked eastbound on Colonel By Drive, on the National Capital Commission (NCC) property, rolled into the Rideau Canal. No one was in the vehicle at the time of the accident.
This accident resulted in damages to the greenery, as well as some fences on the NCC property.
Some gardening items may be floating on the Rideau Canal. We ask that if you see such items that you contact NCC at 1-800-465-1867."

So, if you see a gnome floating face down in the canal, you now know what to do :) Who says Ottawa's boring?

For whatever it's worth, the Ottawa Sun has video.
