A prehistoric kidnapping case has been solved in San Joaquin County, California.
Deputies say they tracked down a stolen green Sinclair gas station dinosaur statue that vanished last month, following a trail that led them to Stockton. Investigators found the dino with a bag over its head, rescued the prehistoric fugitive, and returned it to its gas station home.
Deputies arrested a suspect, but say the statue had already been passed along to someone who apparently didn’t know it was stolen. Authorities haven’t released the suspect’s name or possible charges. Sheriff’s officials are having some fun with the case, saying the theft of this “prehistoric creature” did not become unsolved history and that the case has officially gone extinct. (CBS News)
