The wienermobile's Catalytic Converter Was Stolen
Is nothing in this world sacred anymore?
Oscar Mayer was left scrambling on Friday . . . after someone stole the catalytic converter off their WIENERMOBILE.
It happened in Las Vegas. Someone got underneath the 27-foot hot-dog-on-wheels and sawed the thing off. They also removed a bunch of other parts to get to it.
The Wienermobile was scheduled to show up at events on Saturday and Sunday. So mechanics did a temporary repair to get it back on the road.
It still needs a new catalytic converter, plus other repairs. But it did make it to both of those events, apparently.
Catalytic converter thefts have become more and more common the past few years. People steal them because they contain precious metals worth hundreds of dollars.

Scammers Tricked a Guy into Fire-Bombing a Bank
These are either the best scammers ever, or the guy they scammed is a total moron. Maybe a little of both . . .
A 48-year-old man in Russia recently got contacted by someone claiming to be a rep from Russia's largest bank. They said his account got hacked, and convinced him to transfer his entire life savings . . . $17,000 . . . into accounts they controlled.
They weren't done yet, though. They also convinced him that the only way to expose the hackers was by FIRE-BOMBING his bank.
He got arrested last week after he walked into a bank in Moscow and threw a MOLOTOV COCKTAIL on the floor. Luckily, employees could put the fire out, and no one got hurt.
Russian news sources claim the people who scammed him were Ukrainian. It's not clear if that part's true, but the rest of his story checked out.
Officials say his life savings is now gone. And even though he got tricked, it sounds like he'll face charges for the fire.
