Police search for dinosaur replica stolen from Oyster Festival
OYSTER BAY, N.Y. (AP) — Don't blame extinction or evolution for this missing dinosaur.
A 265-pound fiberglass replica of a raptor Deinonychus was stolen last weekend by thieves who unbolted it from a trailer at the annual Oyster Festival.
The dinosaur had been brought to the festival as a promotional tool for an upcoming "Battle of the Dinosaurs" exhibit at the Center for Science Teaching and Learning in Rockville Centre.
Instead, the prehistoric creature was liberated from the trailer sometime after 6 p.m. Saturday, said Nassau County police.
Authorities are asking the public's help in finding the missing item, which they described as: 5 feet tall, 10 feet long, brown with dark stripes, and sporting large sickle-shaped feet.
