Yeah, insurance fraud to get a new roof is basically a commonly-accepted evil these days, so I'm not going to get outraged over it, but you cant be stupid.
If your house was the ONLY house that got nailed that day, the insurance company is going to put up a bit of a fight. You have to wait for a real hailstorm, and the damage has to look real. (I heard of one idiot who took a hammer and damaged his shingles in a perfect circle around where he stood. What he pounded on didn't even look like hail damage. His claim was not paid)
