If somebody goes into a bank, tries to rob it and gets caught, then he or she will be prosecuted and will probably suffer jail time and so on, albeit perhaps not as much as some people would like. There is a sanction if the perpetrators of the crime do not get away with it. People make false insurance claims week in and week out. It is good that insurance companies are fighting them and, thankfully, judges have thrown out some claims. There are people who repeatedly make spurious, fraudulent or exaggerated claims. All of a sudden the claims are withdrawn because it has been discovered that the claimants were doing mixed martial arts, skiing or whatever.

Nothing happens to them and they go off and do it again.
