Your
car's VIN number...something you should know!
Here is info worth the price of your car....
WHAT WILL THE BAD GUYS THINK OF NEXT?
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 #.
My friend didn't believe this e-mail, so she called Chrysler-Dodge and
pretended she had lost her keys.
They told her to just bring in the VIN #, and they would cut her one on
the spot, and she could order the keyless device if she 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.
