SPOKANE COUNTY, Wash. — Rex, the 3 and a half foot chrome T.rex statue that was stolen from the center of a roundabout near the North Spokane Costco, has been returned home.<\/p>\n

His disappearance was a mystery until the end of May, when Sheriff’s deputies got a tip he was buried in the ground north of Deer Park nearly 20 miles away.\u00a0\u00a0 \u00a0<\/p>\n

SPOKANE COUNTY, Wash. \u2014 A months-long search for a stolen metal T-Rex statue has ended with \u2026<\/p>\n

There’s still no word on who did it. But since he was found, people have asked if rex would ever return to his roundabout home. Now, he’s back.<\/p>\n

The Mead Works community held a welcome home party for Rex and neighbors last night at Fossil Park. They also unveiled a new dino statue at the park down the road from Rex, which is of a stegosaurus.<\/p>\n
