A welcome sight greeted Hector Lopez Thursday morning when he arrived at work.

The owner of the Rio Alto Restaurant found his rusty Mexican fiddle player statue, that had been missing for three weeks, was back at his front door.

Lopez was very excited to have the statue, which was missing for three weeks, come home.

"Everybody really, really supported me and I would like to say thank-you. I would just like to say thank-you so much the statue has come back here'" said Lopez.

He has placed the statue a little further out on the sidewalk so everyone that walks or drives by will know that it is back.

The missing statue had a large following on social media posts and Lopez had offered a free lunch or dinner to whoever returned it.
