SEATTLE, Washington (Reuters) -- A 17 year-old high school student faked the theft of his 2002 BMW M3 in order to collect insurance money to upgrade to a Bentley, police said on Thursday.

The teen, a student of Skyline High School in Sammamish, a suburb of Seattle, had reported the car stolen earlier this week, said Michael Chiu, a spokesman for the police in Bellevue, another suburb located between Seattle and Sammamish.

,,, I guess these are the sorts of tricks you have to play if you're going to have a McLaren F1 by the time you're 30.

I don't see your point. This particular moron is going to lose whatever money he does get, if this is an indication of his intelligence.

The Estate Tax is wrong. It needs to go. And this kid needs to go to jail for fraud.

17 years old with an M3? That was supposed to be my mid-life crisis car. Now I'll have to "pimp" my Pathfinder I suppose. Peace out.

In 77 I could have faked a Vega theft for a Gremlin.

Insurance fraud, filing a false police report....

It's going to cost daddy a bundle to get him out of this one...

Thousands of his like-minded peers who weren't dumb enough to get caught will eventually inherit all of daddy's money. The estate tax only kicks in at $3 million anyway. It builds character to have to work for your wealth.

How do you think his dad got it? Someone worked for it somewhere down the line.

the wealthy don't pay the estate tax anyway - they structure their estates to avoid it. do you see the Kennedy wealth being taken by the government? think Theresa Heinz Kerry is giving it all to uncle sam?

but that's the problem with trust fund babies in general. I've never met one that had a hint of character unfortunately

Are you suggesting that the estate tax is good for society? Just because some kids are jerks does not seem to me to give the government the right to more of daddy's money.

1, 2, 3, 4...

Bitchin' Camaro, Bitchin' Camaro!
I ran over my neighbors
Bitchin' Camaro, Bitchin' Camaro!
Now I'm in all the papers

My folks bought me a bitchin' Camaro
With no insurance to match
So if I happen to run you down
Please don't leave a scratch

I ran over some old lady
One night at the county fair
And I didn't get arrested
Because my dad's the mayor

Bitchin' Camaro, Bitchin' Camaro!
Donuts on your lawn
Bitchin' Camaro, Bitchin' Camaro!
Tony Orlando And Dawn

When I drive past the kids
They all spit and cuss
Cause I've gota bitchin' Camaro
And they have to ride the bus

So you'd better get out of my way
When I come through your yard
Cause I've got a bitchin' Camaro
And an Exxon credit card

Bitchin' Camaro, Bitchin' Camaro!
Hey man where you headed?
Bitchin' Camaro, Bitchin' Camar!
I'm drunk on unleaded!
