Vandals struck in Chicago this week, decapitating a Ronald McDonald statue that sat outside the Museum of Broadcast Communications. The statue<\/a> was found without its head on Tuesday morning when workers began arriving to\u00a0start their day at the museum.<\/p>\n

It was reported that the head was actually down the street somewhere, and was returned by neighbors later that morning.<\/p>\n

Bruce DuMont, founder of the museum told CBS<\/a>\u00a0said that\u00a0the statue is currently being repaired, and will likely return to the museum when it is restored.<\/p>\n

According to DuMont, although he filed a police report, the building does not have security cameras, so there is really no way of telling who the vandals are or what their motives were.<\/p>\n

Believe it or not, this is not the first time that something like this has happened, Ronald McDonald beheadings are actually somewhat of a global trend. There are Ronald McDonal statues all throughout the world, and since McDonalds is becoming such an unpopular company<\/a>, these statues have become a target for vandals and activists.<\/p>\n

In one elaborate case just a few years ago, food activists kidnapped one of the statues and released a video of them in hoods and jumpsuits threatening to behead the statue if the company did not reveal their ingredients. When McDonalds<\/a> refused to respond to their video, they released another video where they had a different Ronald statue in a guillotine.<\/p>\n

The video from the previous case can be seen below:<\/p>\n
