Why strip it when you can alter it to reflect any time and date? :D

This guy frauds
Close. This guy worked in bankruptcy and insolvency and has seen more half-arsed attempts at fraud by people who think they are smart then I want to remember.
Ok, here's my fraud plan:
First, we throw the potatos at Todd. He knows why. Then, after the couch delivery is late, you spring a naked man out of the couch. While everybody is wondering what is going on, THAT'S when you steal the statue of liberty, and sell it back to the french, with a 50% discount.
Now for the actual fraud part. The statue of liberty is green, but that's unatural. It's only a result of the statue being made of brass, and ionizing over the years. So what you do, is sell them a subscription service where you clean the statue of liberty on a daily basis, to keep it nice and shiney.
That's when Bill Murry and the gang make the statue of liberty start walking down the streets of Paris, and fight Godzilla. You sell the footage to Micheal Bay, and that's when you REALLY make your money because you happen to own an explosives company. You're the one sellling the bombs Micheal Bay uses in his new Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles movie.
HAZAH!!!
Won't work if the landlord is smart enough to do their own inspection before a new move in and document it
I had a landlord once who gave me an enormous folder of datestamped photos and made me sign a statement that they were a true and accurate record when I moved in.
Came in handy when I moved out and they tried to get me to pay for the crack in a window pane that was clearly visible in several of their own photos.
One of my previous one tried to charge me for cobwebs. It was a farm house.
Well you couldn't have cleaned them otherwise you would have risked damaging the aesthetic.
Spiders work fast. They rebuild webs in a matter of hours. It's not a realistic demand.
Though at the time the amount they wanted was not worth the grief so I just moved on. But minor deposit frauds are extremely common and almost always unpunished. Landlords have essentially nothing to lose by trying it, certainly not morals.
Now I've heard it all. Cobwebs!!
Mine tried to charge me for the expanding foam an exterminator put in to fix a mouse infestation caused by the landlord's disregard for the building
Just hope the landlord has a lawyer who's dumb as dirt.
