Fraud on Wheels : Vehicle Theft, Staged Accidents, Bogus Auto Body Work

In March 1999 the State of California Senate Insurance Committee began investigating key aspects of vehicle theft & fraud for purposes of identifying proposals to reduce illegal conduct. Committee staff focused on auto body repair fraud, auto insurance fraud & vehicle thefts. Over 200 auto body shop owners, insurer representatives & consumers were interviewed -- many of these individuals submitted documents to the committee for review. Committee informational hearings were held in Oct. & Nov. 1999. The result is this committee report with findings & recommendations as well as the transcript from the October hearing.Leonard, Barry is the author of 'Fraud on Wheels : Vehicle Theft, Staged Accidents, Bogus Auto Body Work', published 2000 under ISBN 9780756706449 and ISBN 0756706440.
