Thief makes off with trailer used as mobile pretzel parlor

FAIRBANKS, Alaska (AP) — It’s a twisted crime: Someone stole the Pretzel Chef trailer, a food truck that operates in Fairbanks, Alaska.


The Pretzel Chef is a fixture at summer events such as the Tanana Valley State Fair, selling pretzels in various flavors, including a pizza pretzel.

Co-owner Michelle Hajdukovich tells the Fairbanks Daily News-Minerthat the white, 14-foot trailer, valued at $30,000, had been parked for the winter.

It has a concession window taking up most of one side, and inside, two ovens, cheese pumps, a cooler and a cash register.

Hajdukovich says the trailer looks like a “toy hauler” that could be used for carrying four-wheelers or snowmobiles.
