If comprehensive insurance can claim self accidents, then just drive the car and go around banging taxis, or crash into a tree and claim from insurance loh.

If all else fail...very simple....drive to JB.....and leave the keys in the car...and then claim stolen.

At least can claim from the insurance for the market value.

what car is that?

Haizzz....making a FALSE Police report can result in either a fine and/or a jail sentence. Please lah, if happen to be captured on cctv that it was a deliberate act to let one's ride be "stolen", e consequences are worse.

 

Haizzz........no wonder insurance premiums gg upz.....haizz

Write in to n'parks? Thought trees is under their purview?
