    Suspects nabbed for 'man in bear suit' insurance scam

    Four people are accused of using footage of a fake bear damaging luxury cars to file false insurance claims in California.


    Apparently investigators viewing the CCTV became suspicious when the bear stopped mid rampage for a beer and a ciggy break...

    I saw this on the news. I was going to try the same trick Martyn but bear sightings are rather rare in the West Midlands. Maybe I could get a large squirrel costume.

      Yes, I'm sure a squirrel constume would be more convincing as in these guys https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hlrUWab8eNw right?

        Rumor has it that the bear suspects were mentored by these guys.

          And stopping to change the radio station probably didn't help either.
