As many as 10,000 vehicles may have been damaged in last month’s catastrophic Texas floods, and some could be resold out of state to unsuspecting buyers, according to a group that works to prevent insurance fraud.
About 2,500 cars, trucks, motorcycles and recreational vehicles have already been towed to a facility run by Copart Inc. in Houston, the National Insurance Crime Bureau said Friday in a statement. Dallas-based Copart works with insurers to salvage and resell vehicles.
