What an odd thing to steal. Then again, it's an odd thing to decorate your home to begin with. There's a house in Jacksonville, that if you go down the St. John's river in a boat, you can see a Ronald McDonald statue waving at you from someone's backyard..... it creeps me out every time I see it.

I don't think you need to explain. Many people on the list have seen the reason.

Wow -- 700 pounds -- now that's a Big Boy.

This probably isn't right, but I kinda hope the police don't figure out who did it. The statue wasn't damaged, and it is funny.

My dad said one Halloween he and his classmates took a farmer's tractor apart and reassembled it on top of a store building.
Of course that was way back when. There were probably only a few parts to undo. But lugging those big tires up the stairs was a lot of fun (he said).

He's not such an iconic presence as the article indicates lol. Lived here 33 years and never seen him or heard of him. Maybe I need to get out more...
