Car Vin#

Seems that car thieves have found yet another way to steal your car or truck
without any effort at all. The car thieves peer through the windshield of
your car or truck, write down the VIN # from the label on the dash, go to
the local car dealership and request a duplicate key based on the VIN #.

I didn't believe this e-mail, so I called a friend at Chrysler Dodge
and pretended I had lost my keys. They told me to just bring in the VIN
#, and they would cut me one on the spot, and I could order the keyless
device if I wanted.

The Car Dealer's Parts Department will make a duplicate key from the
VIN #, and collect payment from the thief who will return to your car. He
doesn't have to break in, do any damage to the vehicle, or draw attention to
himself. All he has to do is walk up to your car, insert the key and off he
goes to a local Chop Shop with your vehicle.

You don't believe it?  It IS that easy.

To avoid this from happening to you, simply put some electrical tape or
duct tape across the VIN Metal Label located on the dash
board. By law, you cannot remove the VIN, but you can cover it so it can't
be viewed through the windshield by a car thief.
