Bob,
I used to think the same thing. And the incident I recounted (letter to
list) could certainly be open to interpretation. But at the time, his
interest was just too unusual because it was so persistent. And his mood
change was unmistakable. One thing he said that was interesting was that all
factory rivets were special so that DMV, law enforcement, etc. could detect
changes, and that they were not supposed to be available anywhere for any
reason.

Subject: Re: spray painted vin # and crushing cars.
I've now read again about the evil car crushing department of motor
vehicles. As a civil rights attorney that regularly attacks government
overreaching, I have no particular love or trust of government functionaries.
Nonetheless, although at times they are misguided, at others they are on a
power trip, and occasionally they completely forget who they work for, as a
general rule these are moral and hardworking people that don't partake in evil
for the sake of evil.
That being said, this car crushing and persecution for vin tag removal
during a restoration smacks of "urban legend." There must be tens of
thousands of honest restorations and repairs that involved vin tag removal.
Has anyone ever heard of a legal problem associated with this save for someone
actually doctoring a vehicle later documented as stolen. Please let me know,
and have them give me a call.
This does not mean that I subscribe to removal. Why call question to
something that is unquestionable.
Thanx.
