OVERLAND PARK, Kan. — KMBC.com
Costco has given an Overland Park family a miniature ox and donkey to replace the ones stolen from nativity set while they were at church.

Wendy Connelly said her children, Wendy, Lorelei and Gryffin, were disappointed when the animals were taken from their yard. The nativity set was a gift from their grandma.

“They’ve been praying and praying for this, and they even said a prayer again last night and on our way to school. So, it was really exciting to see it happen,” Connelly said.

Connelly said they called Costco headquarters to find the replacement and there was only one display left in the country.

Connelly said her daughter, Lorelei, was heartbroken when the animals disappeared.

“It’s very heartwarming to see her now with her animals back and taking good care of them as usual,” Connelly said.

The family told KMBC’s Kerri Stowell said they’ve rigged a special system so the new pieces don’t wander off.

This is the kind of business philosophy we need, the kind of thing you can show as an example to others.

Congratulations, Costco!
