"Add a dent" — the in-painted vehicle
The claimant takes a photo of their undamaged bumper and edits it to show collision damage. The rest of the image is authentic, including the plate and timestamp. Metadata checks pass, and reverse-image search finds nothing.
WHY THE USUAL CHECKS FAIL
EXIF is intact. The device is real. The location is real. Only a 300×200 pixel region of the image is a lie.
