> [@Philly.com](#): > > Ronald is described as having red hair, black eyes, extremely red lips, a very pale complexion, and weighs about 250 pounds. (Time to lay off the Big Macs, Ronnie.) He was last seen wearing a clown outfit, with a yellow suit and red and white striped sleeves. Here’s a picture of [Ronald](http://media.philly.com/images/1200*800/Ronald1.jpg) He’s been [del]kidnapped[/del] [del]clownnapped[/del] [statuenapped](http://www.nj.com/somerset/index.ssf/2017/05/iconic_ronald_mcdonald_statue_stolen_from_nj_resta.html#incart_river_home)! I eat breakfast there once a year as it’s on the way from my friend’s house to the [festival](http://www.balloonfestival.com/). ---

I hope it’s recovered. A lot of kids pose with Ronald. He may have been taken for metal scrap. ---

**UPDATE:** [Recovered](http://www.nj.com/hunterdon/index.ssf/2017/05/missing_iconic_ronald_mcdonald_statue_found.html) & if you look carefully, he’s still sitting on the bench. Just the size/shape alone must’ve made it harder to steal.
