Three large dinosaur statues stolen from a dinosaur museum in Bastrop County were found this week at a University of Texas fraternity house. The Dinosaur Park in Cedar Creek wrote in a Facebook post that the statues, which are 6 to 10 feet long, had been stolen last week from their exhibit areas. The statues were found and returned to the park on Tuesday evening with some damage, according to an update posted Wednesday on Facebook. Austin Nunez, who does marketing for the park, said someone at a fraternity party on Saturday left a tip that led to the recovery of the dinosaur statues. The Bastrop County sheriff’s office worked with the U-T Police Department to recover the statues, he said.
