Why? So you can claim on insurance and increase everyone elses premiums?
I seem quite capable of destroying bike parts - I just go and ride!!

"you could unscrew the front wheel and so when they go over a really big bump really fast it will sperate and they will fly over the front, also this will probably break the gears so it wont be fixable. "
I actually did that years ago (self-stupidity) - it didn't break anything on the bike but I got a trip to the ER and a separated shoulder.
So, "it gotta look like an accident" huh? Why? So you can get a free bike as a replacement? Better check the warranty first.
Here's a way that thousands of bikes get destroyed every year. Ok, maybe not thousands, but at least dozens:
1. Put the bike on the roof rack. Mount it securely.
2. Drive into a low garage / parking structure / drive-thru.
Simple.

Like to collect on a accident claim? To get back at someone?
Try having someone "accidentally" run over the bike with heavy truck.

I went into a wall cause i felt like it and i bent the front forks its a fun way to wreck your bike :) lol but my dad fixed it by heating up the metal and bending it back into shape but you could give it a go

are you trying to brake this bike so your parents will buy you a new one? lol
try running it into a tree, while your off the bike. slam it into the tree and try to bend the hell out of it. then roll around in the dirt and scrape yourself up a bit. then limp home and tell your parents its a miracle you didnt get hurt.

Cutting the brake cable won't do it. Brakes are very fixable. To make it unfixable, you need to do damge to the frame. Try bending the dropout.

Drain all the oil out and drive the hell out of it. But does this person realy deserve something as bad as recking his bike?

Pulling out in front of a cement truck should do nicely. Wouldn't be much of anything left to scrutinize.
