The internet did what it does best when Kiwi cops asked for help tracking down a runaway Ronald McDonald statue this week.
Counties Manukau Police were left scratching their heads after someone pinched a Ronald McDonald statue from a property in Manurewa, South Auckland over the weekend.
On their official Facebook page, the cops said they wanted to "ketchup" with the cheeky bugger/s who took it, and urged the public to come forward with any "McNuggets" of info.
While we gotta give it to them for the puns, they might've regretted jumping on the joke so soon because the comments section became flooded with unhelpful yet crack-up suggestions.
"Apparently Grimace is a monster," wrote one Facebook user, "could have something to do with him."
Betrayal seemed to be on the menu too, with another commenter claiming he “probably popped down the road to Burger King for his breakfast".
One legend in the community - and fan of Pennywise - chipped in: “Those clowns are hiding in the drains, get council to clean all drains and you will either find him or have happy communities that won’t flood😅🥰."
"Mustard had enough," another witty writer suggested. "He's gone on to better and Burger things."
This person might have summed it up best though, writing simply: “I hope someone Grimaces at all these puns.”
According to Newshub, the thief is still on the loose.
While we absolutely feel for the victims of this strange crime, you gotta wonder who had a statue of Ronald McDonald in their garden in the first place?
Only in New Zealand, eh?
