Police in Council Bluffs, Iowa, say the mystery of where the armless “Hot dog Man” statue came from has been solved. The 6-foot-tall cartoon-like hot dog statue was found September 2nd minus arms. Despite tips from across the country and around the world, where it came from puzzled police until Curtis Wennhold came forward to claim it. “[Wennhold] has the arms; to me, that’s enough proof that it is his,” Capt. Terry LeMaster said. Wennhold told authorities he found the 400-pound statute in California and brought it back with him to Iowa, only to have it stolen from his yard by teenagers who broke off its arms while loading it into a vehicle. The culprits were apparently “creeped out” by the statue’s leering grin and put it out on a street corner where a citizen spotted it and called police, thinking it was a man in a costume stalking children at the bus stop. Police have identified the teens involved but so far no one has been charged.
