Just for Fun — A Really Dumb Criminal and a Not-so-Dumb 4-year Old

Published March 18, 2025 at 1:46 PM · News Releases and Bulletins

A 25-year old man in Pennsylvania called his insurance company and said his car was in a crash and he wanted to file a claim. What makes it unusual, and what piqued the interest of his insurance company, is the call coming just eight minutes after he purchased the policy.

The guy claimed his vehicle was hit on a freeway, had significant damage and the driver that hit him didn’t stop. Police were quickly able to determine that the man’s car had been parked at a gas station in the area for several weeks.

Oh, and he also told the insurance company the “accident” left him with a headache. It turns out the headache is now a much different kind.

Then there’s the 4-year old boy who called the police and said “mom is being bad” and hung up. Worried police were dispatched to the boy’s home in Mount Pleasant, Wisconsin expecting the worst.

The worst turned out to be an angry boy whose mother ate his ice cream. The boy thought his mother should go to jail for the theft. The police report said once the two officers arrived on the scene, the boy changed his mind and “he no longer wanted her to go to jail and just wanted some ice cream.”

At least he knew who to call if an emergency arises. No word as to whether the boy got some ice cream or not.
