Police: Teen faked BMW theft to buy Bentley
SEATTLE, Washington (Reuters) -- A 17 year-old high school student faked the theft of his 2002 BMW M3 in order to collect insurance money to upgrade to a Bentley, police said on Thursday.
The teen, a student of Skyline High School in Sammamish, a suburb of Seattle, had reported the car stolen earlier this week, said Michael Chiu, a spokesman for the police in Bellevue, another suburb located between Seattle and Sammamish.
Police in another town found the $47,000 BMW being stripped and arrested four suspects, who connected the teen to the theft, leading to his arrest.
"That investigation led us to believe that he wanted to upgrade to a Bentley," Chiu said.
Bentleys, featured frequently in U.S. hip-hop videos, have a suggested retail price of $160,000 for the Continental GT coupe and $240,000 for the Arnage sedan.
The BMW was in the name of the teen's mother name but was used as his vehicle, Chiu said. The student was released to his mother, and prosecutors are considering charges.

Obvisouly the M3 was not bling enough for him. Wish I was able to swan around in my Mum's BMW, but then I'm not a spoiled brat who'll stamp their feet if they don't get exactly what they want RIGHT NOW!
No doubt Mummy will get him another M3, otherwise he'll press charges for mental anguish.
