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.
