Because the rental placed was insured to the hilt and was more than likely thinking it was 2 rich kids from the area. California, not at all unheard of for an 18 yr old to have his parents get him a black card. I bet they see jackass kids with WAAAAAYYY more money than brains or responsibility, or proper parenting for that matter, more than we would like to admit. And these kids obviously knew to steal the correct credit cards. Not just ones with high limits, but ones where the issuing company thinks it is SOA for someone to spend like that.
