What Bear said. That's insurance fraud even if you did crack them.

Risky game putting something in writing like that on the 'net...pray the adjusters don't see it if you do make a "claim."

That's insurance fraud.  How do I know, you ask.  I work for State Farm as pres of Underwriting, that's how.  BTW, I know a lot of execs who work for the other insurance companies- no bs.  

GOTCHA!!!!!hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha.

WOW, All the great responses. I am besides myself. I really appreciate you guys looking out for me. I will just have to call the adjuster and hope for the best despite the situation but thankyou for all your concerns.

"WOW", back at you...it's not even worth trying to respond to your self-pity...what happened sucks, but bottom line: Blame your mother for throwing them out or blame yourself for leaving the wheels in a questionable place to begin with, but don't even THINK about blaming anybody who states (correctly) that your proposed "solution" is a crime.

Sorry we didn't want to go down with you by defrauding your insurance company, in addition to letting the whole freakin' world know about it. Bonehead move on your part to leave $2500 wheels lying around. Even stupider by your mom for throwing them out without asking you. But you know what? Sometimes life sucks, and you get to learn from it.

On a more positive note, did you take pictures after the accident? I was hit by a car and immediately had my wife take pictures of me, my bike, helmet, etc. - everything that was destroyed in the wreck. If you have before/after pics, or probably even just after pics you might be able to work out something with the ins. company. If not, well, you're probably hosed. We'll feel bad for you, give you some kind words, but I don't think anyone here wants a legal battle on their hands courtesy of you.

Geez guys, could it be that the OP was actually SINCERE in this post?  I read it that way.  So, to atc, sorry for the loss of the wheels, that sucks.  Good choice in asking and realizing that this would be fraud and deciding against it.

Could be, but it sure didn't sound like it.

pics of the wheels on your bike and even broken after the crash would help alot. pictures are worth $1000 words or in this case $1000.
