During a phone call at approximately 3:00 this afternoon, Tom Garrity put his feet on his desk, leaned back in his chair, and glanced nonchalantly at the ceiling above. To his surprise, something in the ceiling started back at him. The AMC gnome had been spying on Tom since 12:15 pm the previous day. After 26 hours and 45 minutes, he was finally caught in the act of Peeping on Tom.

After the gnome's original hiding, fellow employees caught on fast and began betting how long it would take for Tom to actually notice our sneaky little friend. Karen Kiowski, a coworker and long-time friend of Tom, won the bet.

When asked how she did it, Karen responded,
"I've known Tom for a really long time so I am well aware of his observation skills. He may not be the most observant kid on the block, but I knew that he woud catch a glimpse of Mr. Gnome while chatting away on a phone call."
