There’s a good handful of famous cinematic dinosaurs that have made a big impact in Hollywood over the years. But, the prehistoric creatures’ stronghold in cultural landscapes have extended well beyond our screens. Sinclair Gas Station, a predominately western chain, has long sported a signature green brontosaurus as its symbol, and recently, a four foot version of the titan was stolen from Brentwood, California’s location. The saga got big enough it sparked Jamie Lee Curtis to enter the chat.
The series of events began near the end of September for the northern California Sinclair station when Claire, their beloved four-foot dino, went missing. Reportedly, she’s been a longtime neighborhood favorite–people take selfies with her, decorate her during the holidays and just a friendly face for all. So, when the store’s security cameras revealed that the mascot was abducted in the middle of the night, by way of a white pickup truck, everyone was shocked.
