Darren Jeffries was not behaving like the brightest spark but the one suspected to have come from his cellphone was bright enough -- igniting [hash] he was cooking up in his bedroom with the door closed... Police said Jeffries, 23, was caught in a fireball and ran 'smoking from his head' to alert his partner and two children who were in the house..."

"Insurance covered the $88,000 damage" I thought that most insurance policies were void if the claim was the result of a criminal act by the policy holder or the beneficiary. MY INSURANCE REP: Hello, XYZ Insurance. MY STUPID MOUTH: Uh, yeah. Like, DUDE! I TOTALLY burned down my house cooking hash. Can you pay for it? MY INSURANCE REP: Yes sir. We do pay for damages from cooking fires. MY STUPID MOUTH: COOL! I, like, TOTALLY have the munchies, and I'm broke (heh-heh-heh). MY INSURANCE REP: OK, sir. We'll send a cheque right away, and a coupon for McDonald's hash-browns. [two weeks later] MY REP'S BOSS: Did you authorize paying for damages from a drug-cooking fire? MY INSURANCE REP: B-b-b-but BOSS! He said he was cooking potatoes. MY REP'S BOSS: I heard the tape, idiot. You're fired, no pun intended (heh-heh-heh).

Garg, I used to do preliminary contacts for insurance sales (hey, I had to pay the rent somehow, but it was not telemarketing. I was only calling people who had actually e-mailed and asked someone to call with more details). I remember quite clearly that EVERY last package I explained to potential clients had a clause voiding the insurance if the claim resulted from the consequences of criminal activity by the policy holder or the beneficiary. Every insurance company I checked into at the time had the same clause. Health; life; fire; death; dismemberment; theft; disability; mortgage; credit card; travel; and every other kind of insurance that company sold. Maybe it's just a Canadian thing. Mind you, In Quebec a drunk driver can get compensation for his injuries from the SAAQ, which is Quebec's provincial (and mandatory) driver's insurance.

ANDROLOMA, Commerce City, Colorado August 23rd, 2008 5:22 pm ET Your comment is awaiting moderation. As Americans, is there any way we can act more offended that what we already do? What can we do to panic even more? Won't anybody at all think of the children? Where can I find a suppository that works? ================================================== I submitted this to CNN, hehe.

If you want to undstand how this criminal/arsonist can have more than $16000 in unpaid fines, yet STILL have his $88,000 insurance claim paid for destroying his home through criminal activity, then there's only two words you need to hear to make everything clear: New Zealand. You gotta love those Kiwis.

If you've never done this kinda thing before (cooking up drugs) why would you choose to do so in your OWN home? Wouldn't it make much more sense to go to some undisclosed location far far away, so that if you fuck something up, you can walk away, no harm done?

with so many nice non flamable ways to make hash oil, this asswad needs to pick the more dangerous flamable method and jeopardise the kids, and let the neighbors in on what he's doing by burning the house down. not to mention HE RUINED THE PRODUCT! what an asshole

Cannabis addiction? What the hell is that? How do you get addicted to weed? Even if your consuming more concentrated forms of it like hash you don't become an addict. Go a couple days without a toke and the worst that'll happen is you'll get off your ass and take the garbage out.

chances are that this guy didnt own the house he was only renting. Can you immagine him being straight for long enough to apply for a mortgage? The insurance would pay up to the landlord without too much hassel . HOWEVER the insurance company is within its rights to claim damages from this guy to cover their loss. Personally i think he got distracted by the phone ringing and knocked something over. Mythbusters couldnt get a cellphone to blow up anything or even get the tiniest spark
