I wanted to post something that would benefit everyone on this site that owns a car. Someone send it to me and I'm passing it along.
VIN NUMBER - WARNING
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 vehicle, 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. 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 dark tape (electrical tape, duct tape or medical tape) across
the VIN Number Metal Label located on the dashboard. 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 3x5 card over my VIN NUMBER.
PASS THIS INFORMATION ON TO ALL YOUR FAMILY AND FRIENDS NOW!!!!!
