convertible BMW, though, so I went to my bank. I
deposited a $75 check into my account and entered
$75,000 at the cash machine where I made my deposit. It
gave me a transaction receipt that said my balance was
over $75,000. I then took out some money and used the
receipt to show the dealer. I also went inside the bank and
told the teller I was in a rush and I had made a mistake in
my deposit. She was very nice and fixed it for me
immediately. I still had the receipt. I showed it to the
dealer, and I was out the door with a convertible BMW for
the day.

New Paint Job and New
Windshield for Free

My car's windshield had a crack in it, and I got a ticket
before I had a chance to have it fixed. I did not want to pay
for the new windshield or the ticket. While I was driving
one day, I made a note of some government workers
repairing the road near my home. They were patching and
repaving parts of the highway, and there were pebbles and
gravel all over the road. I went to a car dealership and got
an estimate for a new windshield (and for a new paint job
for the front of my car while I was at it). The estimate was
about $2,400, and I sent a copy of it with a copy of my
cracked-windshield ticket to the state highway department.
In my letter to them, I asked them to pay for the windshield,
the paint, and the ticket. I figured that they would refute the
claim or try to pay for only a percentage of the bill.
Instead, they sent me a check for the entire amount I had
asked for. I paid my ticket, replaced my windshield, and
pocketed the remaining $2000. Of course, the tiny nicks on
the front of my car were preexisting and hardly noticeable,
so I just spent the paint job money that the state highway
department gave me on a vacation.

A similar way to get a windshield replaced, and even make
money on the side, works as follows: I keep an eye out
when I am driving (especially on highways) for trucks
carrying gravel. I write down the name, city, and phone
number of the trucking company and send it a bill like the
one I sent to the state highway department. I sent several
trucking companies the same bill and got money from all of
them. I also sent the bill to a few city government offices
saying that gardeners mowing the lawns in the center
dividers of major streets accidentally shot a rock through
the lawn mower and cracked my windshield. They also
sent me money. The most important part of all these claims
