LINDON, UT.- The mystery of a missing 4-ton sculpture outside a Utah motorcycle shop has been solved.

It disappeared over the weekend and apparently the artwork’s sculptor took it back.

The attorney for Springville sculptor Jeffrey Decker says Decker owns the statue and was legally entitled to remove it.
