Not bad advice for folks with vehicles in those "in between" years -
with the vin on the dash and before chips on the keys. Still, an
example of "stuff" that gets passed around on the 'net for years.
What gets me is when one of my news services posts an article on an
issue that concerns me, but it seems somehow familiar. Checking
further, I find the article is weeks or months old and is not
"news" anymore, but rather it's history!

Only
this hasn’t happened for at least a decade. Maybe two. Or
more. No dealership will cut a key by the VIN unless you
are there in person, with proper ID, and are the registered
owner with documents. Sometimes not even then. Not to
mention, more often than not, the key is chipped, so won’t
work unless the dealership has the vehicle there to program
the key.

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!!!!!
