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.

I think the part of the clip showing the bear drinking beer out of a mug gave it away.

This is unbearable.

But so crazy that it bearly deserves being told.

Someone has to BEAR responsibility for it.

The criminals should BEAR their souls as to why they did this.

If this doesn’t get me kicked off FR, I don’t know what will :)

If this had been New York, one of them could have ended up headless and in the Department of Environmental Conservation freezer. Whichever one was the bear was luckper than he can imagine.

They stupidly had a person dressed as a bear damaging their own pricey luxury cars
in a bid to defraud insurance companies. They were arrested in California on Nov 13.


L/e should also investigate how these foreign lamebrains
got tens of thousands of dollars to buy luxury cars.

Russian vodka mixed with a bear fursuit never turns out well.

“Upon further scrutiny of the video, the bear switched the radio to an Oldies Disco station and then did the Hustle”
