Man sets his expensive sports car on fire to get insurance.

BRAZIL : A citizen in Brazil set fire to his expensive Porsche sports car just to get insurance. A Brazilian driver had the misfortune of being caught setting fire to his sports car to cash in on the insurance. Paraná’s Civil Police were contacted by a man who claimed that armed men stopped him in traffic and, after taking him to a rural area, set his car on fire. The citizen claimed that he was saved at the last second by passersby who heard his screams from the burning car and suffered minor burns. The citizen told the police that he did not know the reasons for his attackers’ actions. The police began an investigation into the incident, which revealed some strange details. In this case, the victim had fabricated the story of his own kidnapping, as CCTV footage from a farm near the site of the fire showed the owner of the Porsche sports car setting himself on fire, thus exposing the citizen’s lie.
