00:00Four people were arrested for dressing up as bears and breaking high-end vehicles.
00:08Three vehicles were broken into.
00:10Wait a minute, so they dress up as bears and make it look like a bear broke into their car?
00:15Yes, that's right.
00:16And they filed these bogus insurance claims.
00:19That ended up getting them $141,000.
00:23I love this.
00:25In the ring video, you see the bear open the door pretty easily.
00:28They scraped up the insides of the door.
00:30And the bear's like, grrrr.
00:32It's not the worst idea.
00:34How did they figure it out?
00:35When they sent the video to the investigator for the insurance,
00:38she said, this looks like a person.
00:40And then they had an expert come in, like on bears.
00:43And then they were like, this is a person.
00:44But how did they know it was them?
00:45Because then they went to their house.
00:47They're the ones that filed the claim.
00:48When they went to their house, there was the costume and the knife on.
00:51They left the costume in the house?
00:53Yeah, they answered the door in it.
00:56Hello?
00:57Hey, nobody's home!
