One Sunday, a young couple showed up in nearly-new Cortina. It was their daily driver, and their only car. Long story short, the young lady smeared the Cortina along the back wall of the track.

A local Dr that trailered in his prepared BMW loaded the the Cortina on his trailer and carried it downtown and "parked" it on the street and the young couple said it had been sideswiped while parked.

I have no idea what the outcome was, but really doubt if that story passed the insurance co's smell test.
As a claims adjuster, we see a lot more crazier and fishier things than this.
