Remember the thread about Toyota's commercials encouraging insurance fraud?

Man Accused Of Pushing Car Off Mountain, Reporting It Stolen

POSTED: 9:58 am PST December 28, 2007


HARRISBURG, Pa. -- A man pushed his Ford Mustang down a mountain as part of a scheme to claim it was stolen, authorities said.

Richard Way Jr., 28, pushed the car down an embankment along Wopsy Mountain in Blair County last year, then reported it had been stolen from the parking lot of a hot dog restaurant, the Pennsylvania attorney general's office said.

Way, of Claysburg, was arraigned last week on charges of filing false police reports, theft and insurance fraud.

1. Those commercials weird me out.
Because it really seems as if insurance fraud is the man's sole motivation. If he simply wants to get rid of his car, he could donate it to charity or even sell it. I know it's just a commercial, but I was offended when I first saw that.

3. People have been doing this since
car insurance was invented. Anybody that needs a commercial to give them the idea is way to underrepresented in the synapse department.
