Here's some mention of the bird story. I didn't look for any additional sources to back it up however.

I bought a boat once for X, and due to age, the insurance company wanted a survey. Survey came back at X + 33%. I still wanted to insure it for X but they forced me to insure it at the higher value (higher premiums). 2 years later the boat was totalled when a dock collapsed due to snow load. The first offer they gave me was less than 50% of what I paid for the boat! After a month or so, we settled at X+33%, minus a couple of thousand for depreciation.

Insurance companies will fock you every chance they get, but that said, I hope that anybody that defrauds an insurance comapny gets caught and prosecuted. It drives all of our rates. I am thinking that this guy attempted fraud, but that is just my opinion.

If he committed fraud F him. Deserves to sit in a cell. It just boggles my mind someone would risk their life driving their car into a lake at a decent speed. You'd think there would be a laundry lost of easier ways to go about it no?

Looks like a million dollar bet to me, and hoping the rest of us will pick up the premiums.
