Mayor McCheese Could Not Be Reached for Comment

An artist's sketch of the victim.
A Ronald McDonald statue was stolen yesterday from a Mickey D's in Baytown. KHOU broke the story, but HouStoned has an update, in the form of a transcript of what the thieves said right before perpetrating the larceny. Here it is, in its entirety.
Thief One: Dude, we should steal that statue. That shit would be hilarious.

Thief Two: Oh, man. Let's do it.

Baytown police are seeking this man for questioning, but in order to expedite the process, the department has joined together with HouStoned to get the statue back, no questions asked. (This joint operation is super, super top secret, so don't bother asking Baytown PD about it, because they'll just deny it outright.) Anyone with information leading to the delivery of the Ronald McDonald statue to the Houston Press parking lot will receive a free HouStoned Rocks T-shirt. And then we'll, um, turn the statue over to the authorities. — Keith Plocek

Plocek says:

Just because the guy made some mistakes in the past doesn't mean we should immediately accuse him every time something comes up missing. The man paid his debt to society. Let him get on with his life.

The Colonel says:

Face the truth Plocek! Hamburglar has been a dark cloud over the McDonald's organization since his inception. Officer Big Mac has caught the man red handed on more than one instance and Ronald just continued to look the other way. Well look where that got him, eventually quarter-pounders just aren't enough and now Ronald is missing. They canned Big Mac in the 80's and now there is nobody left to help bring Ronald to safety or Hamburglar to justice.
God help us all...
