Dinosaur statue stolen from outside Oklahoma store

An Oklahoma store is pleading for the return of a dinosaur statue stolen from outside the business under cover of night.

The Decopolis store on Route 66 in Tulsa said a man bearing a tool kit was recorded on security cameras outside the store Sunday night moments before he was seen carrying away the store's statue of a Deinonychus, a dinosaur from the early Cretaceous Period.

"If anyone in the neighborhood finds a Deinonychus, let us know," the store said in a Facebook post.

The business said a police report would be filed.

1. No, not the one in the pic. That's Parasaurolophus.

The one in the video is definitely a raptor of some kind, though.

I'm sure those cost a few hundred each, minimum.

4. Well, not really a correction -- the article just didn't state that it was one of a set.

I may have overreacted by anticipating the taxonomy police. :/

I'll withdraw my thanks.

3. The dog is an accessory.

Maybe even the instigator.
