Milwaukee Brewers' sausage thieves reveal heist details

Jerry Lai, USA TODAY Sports

Rest easy, Wisconsin: The Milwaukee Brewers' missing Italian racing sausage, Guido the sausage, has been found.

After a local businesswoman offered up a case of mustard in exchange for the sausage's safe return, Steve Chamraz of WTMJ-TV in Milwaukee reported that two men brought the sausage into TJ Ryan's bar in Cedarburg – one of the sausage's last known locations during the bender that preceded its disappearance – dropped it off, told the bartender, "You didn't see this," and ran away.

But there's more.

Just before midnight on Wednesday, I received an email from the people claiming to be responsible. As proof, they offered this video of Guido the Italian sausage doing the Harlem Shake, before it was posted to YouTube:

<p>The would-be weiner bandits described how they attached a note to the sausage when they returned it. The note, which refers to the heist as "Weenie Gate," reads: <blockquote> Sorry I'm such a sauced weenie. You probably think I'm the wurst. I started feeling the heat as the police began to ketchup by connecting the links. I know it was a greasy move so here I am. Donate the mustard and drink the beer. Take me back to the Land of the Brew… Much Love, ur Cedarburg Crew. <p>This is a photo of the note: <div > <img alt="" src="https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/blogger_img_proxy/AEn0k_t-s0swjpdarskSE6fVj4MDEUGHCOrLW2zog0lon81QTEXwyzzO9OdIRcICKK6U2Z3T10MFJYbIhjRu_Od40jXu=s0-d" title="Hosted by imgur.com" width="80%"> <div > <p>And, for further proof, a photo of the note attached to the sausage in question: <div > <img alt="" src="https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/blogger_img_proxy/AEn0k_vlA367htgQ0Wng8_w_fLm9j6c3ZLy2Gxt3jRkQzZ2sTyvTdcmtCNudRzJnrgLRVDlEqVZ2IBf2F6QkqSqMdWK3=s0-d" title="Hosted by imgur.com" width="80%"> <div > <p>The sausage thieves agreed to answer some questions on the condition of anonymity. Here's what I learned: <p>Six residents of Cedarburg and nearby Mequon, Wis. ranging in age from 26 to 55 -- five women and one man -- collaborated on the heist. Feeling "over-served and underappreciated," the Brewers fans left a fundraiser at the new Cedarburg location of Milwaukee's Curling Club with the sausage costume for a night out on the town on Feb. 16. <p>Fueled by "two bottles of Cedar Creek's finest wine," the instigator said she "put it on, stood by the door, and ducked out. Then ran full speed to the car." <p>From there, the group went to T.J. Ryan's bar "for some PBR's" then "off to the [Cedarburg] Roadhouse to jam with the band, then home for a night cap." <p>Based on photos the source sent along, Guido the Italian sausage seemed to enjoy himself at the Roadhouse, dancing to the live music of local cover band 76 Juliet: <div > <img alt="" src="https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/blogger_img_proxy/AEn0k_tBLy8ZHjTTD5EE9hwLAYhYJYKo3FvDektcVfJggfMkyRQk5-SCmmYNA1TyJ4jDx9ijm96NWu-XMwzFcLK0pmtG0w=s0-d" title="Hosted by imgur.com" width="80%"> <div > <p>And even joining the band for a jam: <div > <img alt="" src="https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/blogger_img_proxy/AEn0k_ssAst1vXnhFooPbqNzW9KnMnXO1wi91mtADMCUiBerJ1NntakmG3xJu7kWBj6gD_8gLPuqHYIDU8k7YtobRyIukA=s0-d" title="Hosted by imgur.com" width="80%"> <div > <p>According to the source, after the night out in Cedarburg, the group "stuffed him somewhere." Get it? <p>"We considered making other appearances but they only sounded good at the time," the source said. "YouTube Harlem Shake was the last appearance made before its safe return to T.J. Ryan's. <p>"We decided to give it back because we have morals." <p>The swindle marked the group's first-ever sausage heist. "And our last," the source added. <div > <img alt="" src="https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/blogger_img_proxy/AEn0k_ty8seGz1D3YeyVbPYb1eVxsDTEdLZNbh0ttMQnz06dvKrBtdqGtPgu0_T-Z3A3dBi7LtO6u6p6BRQ4jnxzpcsV=s0-d" title="Hosted by imgur.com" width="80%"> <div > <div > <img alt="" src="https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/blogger_img_proxy/AEn0k_u6xmVUoZoF2TCrEazGpmSo1IRgBhiEtdJtXcrPiAZ1A-jrlhnncxG-Q81Sfe-t5udPnVnELwgn2P8K8P4cbJE7=s0-d" title="Hosted by imgur.com" width="80%"> <div > <div > <img alt="" src="https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/blogger_img_proxy/AEn0k_tS8gVzAmumk8Ri1M48uyfXZ019Zn2ps8_vt65eI3cxT6LU5fjDRZEHcTEYcUShu7M04pumeqJXu_lNG5wTLwLk=s0-d" title="Hosted by imgur.com" width="80%"> <div > <br/>Source : <a rel='nofollow' href='http://www.usatoday.com/story/gameon/2013/02/28/brewers-racing-sausage-returned-with-note-and-photos/1954299/' target='_blank'>http://www.usatoday.com/story/gameon/2013/02/28/brewers-racing-sausage-returned-with-note-and-photos/1954299/</a> <div style='clear: both;'></div> </div> <div class='post-footer'> <div class='addthis_native_toolbox'></div> <div class='post-footer-line post-footer-line-1'> <span class='post-comment-link'> </span> <span class='post-icons'> <span class='item-control blog-admin pid-640493186'> <a href='https://www.blogger.com/post-edit.g?blogID=7708193855748751602&postID=8894240913898308750&from=pencil' title='Edit Post'> <img alt="" class="icon-action" height="18" src="//img2.blogblog.com/img/icon18_edit_allbkg.gif" width="18"> </a> </span> </span> </div> <div class='post-footer-line post-footer-line-2'> <span class='post-labels'> Labels: <a href='https://epu-floor.blogspot.com/search/label/Basketball' rel='tag'> Basketball </a> </span> </div> <div class='post-footer-line post-footer-line-3'></div> </div> </div> <div class='comments' id='comments'> <a name='comments'></a> <h4> No comments : </h4> <div id='Blog1_comments-block-wrapper'> <dl class='avatar-comment-indent' id='comments-block'> </dl> </div> <p class='comment-footer'> <div class='comment-form'> <a name='comment-form'></a> <h4 id='comment-post-message'> Post a Comment </h4> <p> </p> <a href='https://www.blogger.com/comment/frame/7708193855748751602?po=8894240913898308750&hl=en' id='comment-editor-src'></a> <iframe allowtransparency='true' class='blogger-iframe-colorize blogger-comment-from-post' frameborder='0' height='410' id='comment-editor' name='comment-editor' src='' width='100%'>
