Are you still wearing your socks? Did you drive your car today? Ask again in 1 week. If you are still driving your car, and your socks are not being eaten by your dryer, you will have hard evidence... :-)

Of course, no, I have no such hard evidence. First of all, I do not live near you, and second, my ex-girlfriend never returned my gnonometer when we broke up, so I have no tools to locate gnomes.
However, I have some circumstantial evidence that casts a pall of improbability on the whole gnome thesis.
First of all, such quasi-kleptomaniacal behavior is uncharacteristic of gnomes. It is more associated with mischievous beings who move and hide things, such as pixies, boggans, and gruagaches. No great matter; gnomes are whimsical beings and subject to the occasional wild hair up their tiny, rangy a**es, so this "criminal profiling" evidence is of only limited saliency.
Second, and on this score the behavioral evidence is more certain, if you have spent any time in the company of the North American Gnome (gnomon boreamericanis), you know that they are an impulsive, thrill-seeking bunch. They scoff at those stereotypical plaster monstrosities you see on some humans' lawns, which are in the gnomish view about as apt a characterization of real gnomehood as the lawn jockey is a realistic portrayal of the human ethnic group which it defames. So, if gnomes were to lay hands upon your car keys, they would certainly take your car out for a spin. And they are terrible drivers, because of their size and disorganization; they lack the social cohesion to have one gnome working the peddles, another turning the wheel, a third working the gear-stick, and one hopping about in the front seat fiddling with AC, radio, and cell phone power jack. If gnomes moved your keys, they would also move your car, and that car would be pretty dinged up by now. You might find stray bits of white picket fence stuck to the undercarriage and the odd shih tzu caught in the grill. And you haven't, right? Or if you would, you would have said so. Wouldn't you? If you wouldn't, you are perhaps an unreliable narrator and can be ill-trusted to tell the truth about the car and socks.
Third, gnomes wouldn't move your socks, either, most likely. Gnomes do not have a fetish for women's feet smells--or at least, not human women. A plump gnomish girl is what heterosexual male gnomes are looking for, preferably a young one--it's a shame to see a married 450-year-old gnome chasing after a 120-year-old girl, no? But, as I was saying, that's probably not a gnome taking your socks. Perhaps you have a cat, or else some weird perv, living in your building?
But hard evidence? No, none at all.

That's an area of science which is avoided, for obvious reasons.
Why would a gnome steal ONE sock from the dryer, or the cap to our ball point pens?
Physicists hide behind astronomy and semi conduction rather than deal with something truly perplexing.

Why yes I do, the evidence however is encased in 5 feet of concrete in the middle of an asteroid with the gnomes ally the plastic flamingo, the evidence is set in stone, so it is hard evidence.
The only one who knows what it says though was carried off by giant earthworms, bummer that, happened just last tuesday, coulda told ya if you asked then :P

Yes, there was a Ziggy cartoon in the newspaper years ago that showed how aliens land in your sock drawer and politely take only one of each color to use as nose warmers.
I have no idea who is moving your car keys, but the dog looks suspicious.

No we don't.
But, if you have a gnome. You obviously aren't taking him for rides in the car or walks around the block.
Shame on you!

No, I don't. And furthermore, according to the mores of modern society, I am obliged to give your belief in gnomes special status (if it's part of the gnomistic religion), whereas you are free to scoff at the notion that I am nightly abducted and probed by UFO aliens.

Gnomes are definitely stealing your socks, but Gremlins are moving your car keys.

It may have been gnomes. I ran a remote spell check, ( using the wonderful yahoo tool 'Check Spelling' ) on your question. You seem to be clear of spirits, demons, apparitions etc.
However, the problem may be at yahoo itself. You might want to try their 'my oh my' identifier page. The link below will take you to the last answers member reported for having ectoplasmic leakage
