Rick accidentally drops his expensive new camera. The camera is damaged and the lens is destroyed. Rick cannot afford a new camera so he devises a plan to claim that the camera was stolen from his automobile

In that way, his car insurance will pay for the cost of replacing the "stolen" camera and lens. As part of the claims process, Rick must file a police report about the purported theft. If Rick files such a report and falsely states that the camera was stolen, he commits no criminal offense because the report is for insurance purposes only and the police are unlikely to conduct any investigation of the matter.
