The California Department of Insurance alleged that four individuals staged a bear attack on their luxury cars, ultimately costing insurance companies over $140,000.
Investigation revealed that the 'bear' seen in video footage was not an animal, but a person in a bear costume, leading to fraud charges.
The defendants had claimed a bear caused damage to their luxury vehicles, submitting footage showing scratching consistent with a bear's claws, which was later debunked.
The case showcases the creative lengths some individuals may go to defraud insurers, with one even using a costume to simulate damage from a bear.
