KENTUCKY
Adding It Up
In November 2004, Robert L. Whiteside submitted a receipt to State Farm Fire and Casualty Company, claiming that his chrome rims and tires had been stolen from his residence during a burglary. The insurance company reimbursed the Kentucky resident a total of $3,965 for the parts, but when special investigators at the company began to review the receipt, Whiteside's story just wasn't adding up.
Not only was the change due back to Whiteside incorrect on the invoice, but the number listed on it matched a receipt given to another customer who bought other items from that store. Whiteside was also unable to verify that he did in fact own the tires and rims at any point, so the former Louisville corrections officer found himself in court.
