Man accused of insurance fraud
A 23-year-old Camarillo resident has been charged with felony auto insurance fraud, Ventura County District Attorney Greg Totten announced Thursday.
David Glen Snader reported his car stolen Sept. 28 and filed a stolen vehicle claim two days later with his insurance company, Esurance, according to detectives from the Ventura County Auto Theft Task Force.
However, one week earlier, a Ventura County sheriff's deputy found Snader's car abandoned in a Camarillo parking lot. The car was then towed to a nearby lot, according to the District Attorney's Office.
The car was still in the lot when Snader claimed that he last drove it.
Investigators found that Snader had conspired with an unknown accomplice to dispose of his car and collect insurance money, authorities said.
He was arrested Feb. 7 by California Highway Patrol officers working with the Auto Theft Task Force.
If convicted, he faces a maximum penalty of five years in state prison and up to $50,000 in fines.

Expect him, next, to file a claim against Parker-Brothers. His 'Get out of Jail' card didn't work, and he didn't collect $200.

I still find it rather comical that he paid someone to get rid of the car and they went and parked it somewhere else !LOL
