Four people in California have been arrested after one of them dressed up as a bear to scratch up their vehicles in what may be the dumbest insurance fraud scheme imaginable. The plot sounds like something lifted straight from a 1990s sitcom.

Investigators apparently saw through the costumed ruse without much difficulty. The absurd scheme is a reminder that insurance fraud rarely pays off, and that even the most creative cons tend to unravel under basic scrutiny, leaving the perpetrators facing real charges.
