LAS VEGAS, Nev. (FOX5) - The Oscar Mayer Wienermobile had to make a pit stop on Friday after thieves targeted the iconic vehicle.


The catalytic converter on the 27-foot-long hot dog on wheels was stolen, according to Joseph Rodriguez with Penske Trucks.


According to Rodriguez, his team at Penske helped give the vehicle a temporary repair so it could get back on the road.


Rodriguez said staff at Penske near West Hacienda Avenue and South Decatur Boulevard sealed up where the catalytic converter had been cut.


The iconic vehicle was back on the road and able to make it to its first stop of the weekend. The Weinermobile has a stop planned on Saturday and Sunday as well.

Supposedly, Fox News just reported Lorena Bobbitt has been formally questioned by law enforcement regarding this matter.

Penske, I wonder if they ever got that file finished.

Are they stolen for scrap value?

Are they stolen for scrap value?

Yeah, for the precious metals in the cc.

Platinum, palladium and RHODIUM (Rhodium somewhere round ~17k an ounce... which is almost as high as Donk use to get for an ounce of his spunk at his Swinger Parties back in the day).

Are they stolen for scrap value?

Opti, the value varies. Estimate I currently see is about $134 per, b/c of the Precious Metal content.

Salud, Bite.

It's not an immaterial amount. The scrap value from a totalled car is going up. Can still salvage some $$ from a Total, in large part b/c of the Catalytic Converter.

Vegas is plagued by the thefts of these converters. They hit a few cars and trucks with the family services, and they did a few from the blind charity parking lot. Twice.

They are not making the penalty strict enough. Those doing it obviously aren’t afraid as they will be out on the street almost immediately.

Not just a Vegas thing. I live in Amish country Pennsylvania and l came out of the movie theater with some dude crawling from under my car. I'm rolling coal with my TDI so it was a waste of his time. Just happy he didn't do anything to the car to be a dick.
