Not even the famous Oscar Mayer Wienermobile is immune to the recent wave of catalytic converter thefts. The world's most famous and most traveled hot dog recently had an unplanned repair stop in Las Vegas, where most people just lose money. In this case, the rolling wiener lost its valuable emissions component at the hands of nefarious converter-dog nappers.
Specifics of the crime are known. A report from Fox 5 News Las Vegas says the Wienermobile made a pit stop on February 10 to have a temporary fix implemented. The exact time of the crime or potential suspects aren't mentioned, but a Penske location on the city's south side stepped up to make the repair. Considering the Wienermobile is 27 feet long, one doesn't simply stop at the nearest exhaust shop for help.
