My trust in insurance companies is so low that I wouldn't put it past them to get one report of an actual bear attacking a vehicle, doing the math to determine that it would be cheaper to pay some dude to dress up as one and take the fall than it would be to pay out on a single car.

That's where my trust level with insurance companies is.

Well, they do have the right to bear arms.
