California Deputies Recover Stolen Sinclair Dinosaur Statue

San Joaquin County sheriff’s deputies recovered a large green Sinclair gas-station dinosaur statue reported stolen Oct. 27. Investigators identified and arrested a suspect, but the statue had changed hands and was with a purchaser who apparently did not know it was stolen. Deputies tracked it to Stockton, where they found it with a bag over its head, then returned it to the gas station with help from sheriff’s volunteers. The sheriff’s office shared a photo of a deputy riding the statue back and joked that the case had not become “unsolved history.”
