Default sinkhole fraud

I had read some articles regarding sink hole fraud in the western counties of Florida. People were submitting false claims or claims for minor damage blamed on sink holes. Often the money was not used to repair the damage.
The state legislature could have tightened up the penalty for the fraud rather than letting the insurance raise our rates.
I don't have a link to the articles......but just Google "sink hole fraud" and there are plenty of examples.
