מאך זיכער דיין VIN # איז צוגעדעקט!!!!!!!
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 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 #

Comments: While there has been at least one well-publicized case (in 2002) of an auto theft ring using a ploy similar to the above to steal vehicles from used car lots, it is a complicated and time-consuming modus operandi and not the most likely way a thief might try to steal your car.
Still, the method can work, as proven in an experiment conducted by WTAE-TV News in Pittsburgh:
After getting permission from the owners, we jotted down VIN numbers from four different vehicles. Then, we went to four diffrerent car dealerships with a hidden camera. We told the same kind of story that a thief might tell: we locked the key in the car and needed a new one.
First, we went to a dealership and tried to get a key made for a 2003 Blazer. It couldn't have been any easier.
Next, we walked into another dealership with a phony story. Half an hour later, we had a key that got us into -- and away with -- the car. The key cost $2 and we paid cash. No one asked for identification.
Three out of the four car dealers struck duplicate keys with no questions asked, the reporters found, even though most dealerships have a policy of demanding identification before doing so. A different investigation conducted by the Sacramento Bee in 2003 found that car dealers were not only aware of the scam but in some cases believed they had actually foiled attempts to illegally obtain keys by insisting on proper documentation from the perpetrators.
Covering the dashboard VIN # is an option for vehicle owners concerned that they may be victimized in this manner, but, since some states prohibit it, checking local laws is advisable first.
