In a bizarre and bold daytime heist, a statue of Ronald McDonald was stolen from a McDonald’s restaurant in Pennsylvania, sparking a mix of outrage and amusement online.

According to the New York Post, the theft took place in broad daylight, with onlookers stunned by the audacity of the culprits. The statue, typically seen sitting on a bench welcoming customers, was snatched in what some are calling a “full-blown McNapping.”

Local police have launched an investigation and are reviewing security footage in hopes of identifying the suspects. Meanwhile, McDonald’s staff and regular patrons say the statue was a familiar sight and a favorite photo-op for visitors.

“This isn’t just a prank—it’s theft,” said one employee. “Ronald’s been part of this community for years.”

Authorities are asking anyone with information to come forward. In the meantime, the internet is buzzing with theories, memes, and mock wanted posters featuring the iconic clown.
