LOS ANGELES – Four people who allegedly had a person dressed as a bear damaging their own luxury cars in a bid to defraud insurance companies were arrested in the US state of California on Nov 13.
Suspicions were aroused when a claim was made for ripped seats and damaged doors on a luxury Rolls-Royce Ghost, an exclusive vehicle worth hundreds of thousands of dollars.
Claimants said a bear entered into the car when it was parked in Lake Arrowhead, a mountain spot outside Los Angeles, wreaking havoc on its interior.
To back up their claim, they provided photos of the damage as well as footage from a security camera, which they said showed the animal inside the vehicle.
But the company smelled a rat and contacted insurance fraud detectives.
“Upon further scrutiny of the video, the investigation determined the bear was actually a person in a bear costume,” said a release from the California Department of Insurance.

And then the bear changed all the radio stations back to Christian rock.

And then stole the Jesus fish.
