Yeah it really is BS how you have to pay taxes on items you've won in the states. That being said, pulling insurance scams probably isn't the smartest.

I knew a guy who thought he'd be a genious and instead of buying new tires, just slash the old ones. The insurance companies were onto that one and just paid him out for the remainder of the tread on the tires.
