That BMW wasn't good enough!

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.

As Jack Cafferty commented: (paraphrased) "What idiot would buy a teenage a $40,000 car, anyway?"

....prosecutors are considering charges"

Last line in the article reads "The student was released to his mother, and prosecutors are considering charges."

I'm sure nothing will ever come of this. Any family that can afford a $47,000 car for a 17 year old kid WON'T be worried about prosecution.

This is a country of "show me your bank account, and I'll tell you how much justice you can AFFORD".
