Jonathan Lachlan, living in the American city of Albuquerque (state New Mexico), bought in the middle of October this year a box refined and expensive cigars. The product was so rare and valuable. that the man immediately insured him, including from the fire.
The smoker managed to make only one installment on the policy when the cigars came to an end with him. It would seem that the American was in a mess, since now he needs to pay for insurance nonexistent things, however Jonathan was much more inventive – he demanded with company insurance.
It is worth noting that in English the word “fire” means as “fire” and “fire”. Lachlan said that insured against fire cigars were lost precisely for this reason, therefore their the owner deserves compensation. The company, of course, refused pay by stating that Jonathan has used tobacco products naturally, and about any compensation here can not go and speech.
Having received such a refusal, the smoker sued and, to universal surprise, won the case. The judge admitted that the lawsuit, of course, not serious, but there is a policy, and cigars were indeed insured against fire. At the same time, by mistake or indiscretion insurers, the policy did not stipulate that a fire is mandatory must be unintentional. As a result, Lachlan received from insurers check in the amount of fifteen thousand dollars.
But this amazing story did not end there. When happy Jonathan left the courthouse, instantly arrested. The man was charged with twenty-four episodes of intentional arson of the insured property. Now to the unlucky smoker faces two years in prison and a fine of twenty-four thousand dollars, that is, out of his pocket to the new criminal will have to give nine thousand. According to reporters, this case perfectly demonstrated that if you decide to play dishonestly, the rules of your game can always be applied against you.
