Check out the comments where the insurer has been legally stealing vehicles and reselling them. Reminds me of the Chinese human organ market. Prisoners are worth more dead than alive.

If the death panels materialize what happens if you're an organ donor? Will you be worth more dead than alive?

I'm not seeing any connection between a scam involving insurance agents declaring vehicles "totaled" and then secretly reselling them for 100% profit and a murderous human organ market at all.

I mean, one is a scam for some cash. The other is a (supposedly) murder ring.

As far as the insurance scam, while getting smells out is difficult, there's nothing stopping them from replacing the seats and/or carpeting for a fraction of the cost of the vehicle, so the woman should have told them to take her to court and seen what a judge would say. I've gotten way worse smells than sour milk out of stuff before. Just scamming people because most won't question it officially.

Having lived in BC and having dealt with ICBC nothing that they do would surprise me!! It is government run after all.

Somehow an episode of Seinfeld keeps running through my mind. The one with the smelly valet.

"It still smells!"

[chamoisee]

People are already worth more dead than alive, and life/death decisions do get made based on whether or not the person is an organ donor. Just sayin'...

When I was a kid, my brother spilled a gallon of milk in the trunk of his car, along with a bunch of sweet feed. Being the teenage boy that he was, he just left it. When the car was parked in the barn for a month "to air out", our cat killed a rabbit and drug the carcass into the front floorboard. It was a Chevy Vega, so it pretty much came off of the assembly line totaled. I renamed it the Chevy Vomit.

Actually, I can believe it.

My ex's father was a restaurant owner. He was in his van one day when he had to break suddenly to avoid an accident and a gallon of milk he had in the back of the van shot forward and exploded.

He cleaned it, had it detailed, everything he could but nothing would ever get rid of the overpowering, vomitous smell from that van. It was horrendous and hard to even open the door without retching. I don't remember how he got rid of that van.. whether he sold it for pennies on the dollar or just scrapped it but it HAD to go, it had been rendered practically worthless....the memory of the smell of that van brings a lump to my throat 20 years later.

If I were the lady in question and had to cough up the price of the truck, I would darn well own the truck and title to it.

If the odor couldn't be removed some of the money could be recouped by parting it out. Absolutely wouldn't pay for it and let someone else get it.

If an insurance company writes off a vehicle, they own the damaged so there is no chance that the previous owner will be making any profit from it.

Apparently, the Insurance company, wanted her to pay for for it.

Because Chapman was found 100 per cent responsible for the accident, ICBC informed her that she could either pay for the entire writeoff or see her insurance premiums rise.

If that was the case, the original owner, could probably keep the truck.

I guess she won't be doing any more tailgating after that incident.
