On February 16, 2023 by Sriya Pradhan
According to numerous reports, catalytic converter thieves have struck again, this time targeting the renowned Oscar Mayer Wienermobile in Las Vegas before Super Bowl weekend.
The 27-foot-long Wienermobile, which is styled like a hot dog, was broken into on Thursday night when it was parked at a Sonesta Suites hotel in Las Vegas.

The catalytic converter, which is an essential component of the emissions system, is made of priceless precious metals like Platinum. Platinum is currently selling for roughly $960 per ounce, according to metals trader Kitco.com. Joseph Rodriguez, the administrator for Penske Rental Parts, told KRON4 that when he arrived, he was astonished to discover a car being serviced.
According to Rodriguez, employees discovered a converter that matched, offering a short-term solution. It will take one to two months to order the precise device for the disabled Wienermobile.
Rodriguez described the rising number of catalytic converter thefts in the Las Vegas region as “a tremendous concern.” It has now been ongoing for a number of years. Particularly last summer, it took two to three months to obtain one.
According to the Las Vegas Metro police, there were more than 2,600 catalytic converter thefts reported in 2022, up from 1,894 the year before for an increase of 72%, as reported by KRON4.
