P. v. Nguyen
Defendant Minh Ngoc Nguyen falsely reported to police and to his insurance company that his leased 2004 Mercedes Benz SL500 had been stolen when he went into a store to buy cigarettes. His insurance company eventually paid $55,573.39 on this reported loss. But the Mercedes Benz was not stolen as reported. Instead, it was in the possession of someone to whom Nguyen had willingly delivered the vehicle as security in a business deal that went bad. Nguyen was arrested and charged with crimes related to his false reports to the police and to his insurance company.
