Craig Wilson thought he was being clever when he dumped his car and then claimed it had been stolen. He fraudulently claimed $10,282 on the back of this 'theft.'

The car might have been in gear, but his brain certainly wasn't, because he left a Mapquest Printout from his home to the cars final location, outside a Jacksonville apartment complex, inside the vehicle. So, when the apartment complex owner complained about the abandoned car, it didn't take investigator's too long to find the owner. Perhaps it didn't occur to Wilson that maps can be read backwards.

Wilson was sentenced to five years probation.
