STEWARTSTOWN, Pa. (AP) - A broken Ronald McDonald statue brought home by a McDonald's assistant manager, repaired, and used to decorate her family's lawn for 20 years has vanished.

"It was a holiday today," Thomas Grieger II said Monday. "I think the kids came and got him."

State police were seeking information about the cement statue that Grieger estimated must weigh about 300 pounds.

The statue originally sat outside the Shrewsbury McDonald's where Grieger's wife, Joy Grieger, was assistant manager. Someone tried to steal it, breaking off a hand and cracking a foot before giving up on the attempt.

McDonald's did not want it back, so the Griegers took it home, patched it up and have used it as a lawn mascot ever since.
