Doug Merino of Westport, Washington was all of the above and was recently sentenced, fined, and ordered to pay restitution in a classic car scam that involved a fraudulent photograph and a pile of classic car parts. The original plan was a bogus claim submitted to his insurance company, Farmers Insurance which totaled about $60,000. His partners in crime, one of which happens to have died recently, also were accused, and one of the plead guilty to attempted first degree theft.
