Well here is another sign that things aren’t going to well in the economy.  According to App.com workers at a New Jersey tow truck company have taken to stealing their own vehicles to collect on the insurance money: 

Five workers at a North Jersey tow truck company face charges that they took cash to steal cars and report them as stolen to insurance companies.

North Bergen police say an owner of High Point Towing, which operates in Union City and North Bergen, is charged along with four workers.

Police say the suspects were paid to steal large vehicles and trucks, and report them stolen.

The arrests cap a two-month investigation by numerous law enforcement agencies.

It doesn’t come as a huge surprise that people are resorting to desperate measures in this economy.  I’m sure it didn’t take a long time for the insurance companies to pick up on this scheme, so be aware that is not the way to solve your problems!  I wonder how much was spent in tax dollars to figure out this little scheme.
