+### What it does
+Checks for the usage of `_.to_owned()`, `vec.to_vec()`, or similar when calling `_.clone()` would be clearer.
+
+### Why is this bad?
+These methods do the same thing as `_.clone()` but may be confusing as
+to why we are calling `to_vec` on something that is already a `Vec` or calling `to_owned` on something that is already owned.
+
+### Example
+```
+let a = vec![1, 2, 3];
+let b = a.to_vec();
+let c = a.to_owned();
+```
+Use instead:
+```
+let a = vec![1, 2, 3];
+let b = a.clone();
+let c = a.clone();
