Got this in an email, thought I 'd share it with you guys. I know most cars have the sticker or something that says where they got the car from too, I know my car has.
VIN NUMBER
Here is info worth the price of your car…WHAT WILL the car thieves THINK
OF NEXT?
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 Chrysler-Dodge and pretended I had lost my keys The y 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 tape (electrical tape,
duct tape or medical 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. I urge you to forward this
to your friends before some other car thief steals another car or truck. I
slipped a 3 x 5 card over the VIN NUMBER.
