BAYTOWN, Texas -- A familiar fixture is missing from a Baytown McDonald's, KPRC Local 2 reported Monday.

Baytown police said a 6-foot tall Ronald McDonald statue was stolen from the McDonald's on Garth Road near the East Freeway on Feb. 3 or Feb. 4.

Officials said someone broke through a fence to get into the playground and then broke a lock to get to Ronald McDonald.

"He's old, but we want him back," manager Robert Ibarra said.

Ibarra said he does not know who did it, but he has a theory.

"Maybe the Hamburglar," Ibarra said. "They don't get along too well."

Ronald McDonald is about 6 feet tall with a white face and red noise, mouth and hair. He was last seen in a red, white and yellow outfit with big red shoes. Officials said it is unlikely that his appearance has changed.

Police said Ronald McDonald's estimated value is $2,000.

Officials said they do not have any leads in the case. Anyone with information is asked to contact the Baytown Police Department at 281-422-8371.
