So how hard was it exactly to take your wheels off, put them in your living room, and make an insurance claim?

... or did I not understand the story right?

as a recent victim of wheel theft .. what would be the point? why commit fraud to get new wheels.. and why do it infront of your apt where someone could see you removing the wheels to get caught with fraud? if thats the case he could have just parked his car in a sh!tty neighborhood.. took his own rims off just to commit fraud.. not do it in his own complex

To have cash to buy the aftermarkets you've always wanted without working for it? ... durr?

and why do it infront of your apt where someone could see you removing the wheels to get caught with fraud?
It's not that difficult to understand the comings and goings of both your neighbors and security when living in an apartment complex.

if thats the case he could have just parked his car in a sh!tty neighborhood.. took his own rims off just to commit fraud.. not do it in his own complex
Why do that when you can take them off yourself in under 5 minutes with the help of a buddy and have a sure thing.

You act like people never commit insurance fraud.

I want to see you type the word "fraud" again, by the way.

Sorry if I ruffled your sensitive feathers after you had your wheels stolen. Relax, big guy.

No one is ruffled bud.. i'm asking you a question.. i am asking you whats the point of doing all that? is it really worth getting caught? no need to get defensive about it.. just a simple answer in your first line was sufficient.

Being that i'm going through the same situation and i know all the investigation that goes on with a situation.. i really am just wondering what would be the reason anyone would risk going to prison and a huge fine just for some new rims

Why do people commit crimes in general? Big gain with little effort at the cost of being caught.

Do you really not understand why, or are we just making conversation?
