Information embedded in digital photos of items stolen in an audacious robbery reveals that things aren’t quite as the claimant would have his insurers believe, while a careless cyclist is left reeling after a bust up with a bus. One claimant tries to run rings around their insurer with a claim for lost jewellery, undercover filming reveals one man’s injuries aren’t as debilitating as he’s claiming, and in the USA a murder case leads to the discovery of a love triangle and a sickening plot for an insurance pay out.
