E46 M3 not good enough for this kid?
Police: Teen faked BMW theft to buy Bentley
SEATTLE, Washington (Reuters) -- A 17 year-old high school student faked the theft of his 2002 BMW M3 in order to collect insurance money to upgrade to a Bentley, police said on Thursday.
The teen, a student of Skyline High School in Sammamish, a suburb of Seattle, had reported the car stolen earlier this week, said Michael Chiu, a spokesman for the police in Bellevue, another suburb located between Seattle and Sammamish.
Police in another town found the $47,000 BMW being stripped and arrested four suspects, who connected the teen to the theft, leading to his arrest.
"That investigation led us to believe that he wanted to upgrade to a Bentley," Chiu said.
Bentleys, featured frequently in U.S. hip-hop videos, have a suggested retail price of $160,000 for the Continental GT coupe and $240,000 for the Arnage sedan.
The BMW was in the name of the teen's mother name but was used as his vehicle, Chiu said. The student was released to his mother, and prosecutors are considering charges.

The four suspects stripping the car didn't really steal it, so what are the charges against them if the kid was getting all the insurance money? Are they accessories to insurance fraud?

People have nothing better to do with their money. My younger brother's 16 year old friend just got an SVT Cobra and messed it all up in about two months...
Im sure all these kids will grow up to be very valuable members of society...
