This looked suspicious from the beginning. Don't mess with insurance companies.

My guess is the BMW needed thousands of dollars in mechanical repairs that he couldn't pay for and was upside down on loan. This was his way of totaling it out. They are notoriously bad cars as far as long term durability goes.

I bet he had spray paint on his hands.

Seen exactly this more than a few times in my 20+ years in the car business.

I have a friend that is an investigator for an insurance company. He told me a story of a guy that got a friend to rent a Uhaul, complete with full insurance and got said friend to total his car while it was parked on the street. Sometimes they get crafty, other times they really don't think things through.

While I do not believe in hate crimes, he should be charged with one and made to apologize publicly for his deeds.

He should be charged with more than a hate crime. Think of all the bullshit, protests, smashed windows, attacked cops this asshole caused.

Insurance fraud? Walk free until arraignment. Unregistered firearms, you're going to jail BOY!

A self-hate crime?

Only if you’re a legal gun owner. If you get caught with drugs and a gun they plea away the gun charge so you get 3 months for the drug charges and no trial. Legal gun owners with 30 round mags get 10 years.

How was it insurance fraud if a local body shop was willing to fix it for free? Was the guy trying to make a claim pocket the money while having the shop do the work? While not impossible, do most people have full coverage on a 17 year old vehicle?

I have a theory that only rich people and only poor people drive luxury cars. Rich they buy it new, poor they buy it after it's all through the warranty and they are buying it to try and project a status of more wealth than is reality.

A guy this clever might have done something like take out full insurance and lower his deductible the day before this happened.
