"This lawsuit is about as idiotic as filing a class action against auto manufacturers because your cars are getting stolen."

Not really Bill. It's more like if it's stolen from a parking lot that has some (at least implied) responsibilty to protect your car. I think they'lll have a hard time proving fraud though, you need to show real damages, not guess.

Google is making money from the fraud too so it's even worst. If the parking lot owner got a cut of the chop-shop's net, they'd be in even more trouble.
