ELF TOURS COUNTRY Kidnapped Elf Images

James and Anetta White said the 2-foot-tall elf that they have put out every Christmas for 25 years was taken two weeks ago.

Since then, the "elf-nappers" have been mailing them pictures.

"He looks kinda sad in Arkansas," said James White. "He was in a cave in Virginia. He did look kinda happy in the cave."

The elf has been to Dallas, Graceland, and the Grand Ole Opry.

But the Whites want him home.
