What is the name of McDonald’s striped thief mascot from McDonaldland?

McDonald’s striped thief mascot from McDonaldland is the Hamburglar.

The Hamburglar was created as a fictional character who tried to steal hamburgers in McDonald’s advertising. His striped clothing, cape, gloves, and masked appearance gave the character a distinctive visual identity within the company’s fantasy world.

He appeared alongside Ronald McDonald, Grimace, Mayor McCheese, and other McDonaldland figures. The character’s simple goal made him easy to understand in short commercials: he wanted the food, while the other characters tried to stop or outsmart him.

The Hamburglar is sometimes confused with Captain Crook, another McDonaldland villain associated with Filet-O-Fish promotions. Their costumes and story roles were different, even though both belonged to the same broader advertising universe.
