Wienermobile gets tagged with markers

Parked outside a Coeur d'Alene hotel, the celebrated Oscar Mayer 
Wienermobile was too tasty a target for one hooligan.

A boy in a white shirt, apparently relishing his chance to tag an icon of 
the American road, struck the roving hotdog Wednesday evening, using 
markers.

Employees of the Hampton Inn and Suites helped remove some of the 
graffiti, but a little on a side window remained, like a stubborn mustard 
stain.

An Oscar Mayer "hotdogger" – one of the goodwill ambassadors who pilot the 
Wienermobiles around the country – estimated the damage at $1,100. 
Everything on the vehicle is custom-made, he told a Coeur d'Alene police 
officer.

A hotel video camera caught the offense on tape. But the boy vanished 
before police could ketchup with him.
