Arson Snitch Program?

[sn1p3r]

For the first time ever I received a notice from my homeowner's insurance company about a program that rewards $5000 for information that leads to an arson conviction on a property that they insure.

I wonder how this will play out when:

An underwater house burns down.

The neighbor is also underwater.

5,000 bucks is on the table.

Debt-weary SUV owners unload their gas-guzzlers on insurance companies

SUV owners who are faced with rising gas prices have found a new way to get out from under their high car payments — arson.

This trend was spotted by a Southern California arson task force in the summer of 2005 when gas prices spiked. At one point, firefighters responding to a report of a vehicle fire arrived at the Los Angeles River Bed to find two SUVs burning at the same time.

This happened recently in my home town. The woman's father built my previous home. The home had recently been taken off the market after failing to sell.
