[QUOTE="HFS, post: 4362051, member: 8862"] Supposedly, claims of damage to luxury autos including a Rolls Royce by bear attack were actually caused by a human in a bear costume Video of the "bear" didn't convince anybody so maybe they should have tried a Bigfoot costume? "Four people in the Los Angeles area were arrested and charged with insurance fraud and conspiracy after claiming their fancy vehicles were damaged by a bear — only for insurance investigators to discover the destruction was actually caused by a person wearing a bear costume. The fake beast allegedly broke into a 2010 Rolls-Royce Ghost on Jan. 8 that was parked just northeast of Los Angeles at Lake Arrowhead in the San Bernardino Mountains, according to the California Department of Insurance Fraud Division. The owner of the luxury car submitted a video to the insurance company to seemingly prove that the creature wrecked the vehicle ... ... A biologist from the California Department of Fish and Wildlife reviewed footage and suggested it was a person in a costume. Later, the bear costume was found in the suspects’ home after a search warrant was executed. A photograph of the outfit showed what appeared to be a onesie with bear-like fur, attachable paws for the feet and hands and claw-like blades that seemingly could have been used to scratch the seats."
