I love this!!! Everyone start posting your VIN's! C'mon, do it!collin wrote:Stop the madness!!
Let's imagine for a minute these were automotive VIN. Collecting/posting these would be illegal in the United States. Why shouldn't that respect be paid to other belongings?
Plus the register will NEVER be complete and is riddled with inaccurate information. Why even bother?

I have watched this discussion here and elsewhere on the RRF and accept that there are arguments for and against the merits of the Register.collin wrote:Stop the madness!!

(That's the start of the VIN on every 1970 Dodge Dart Swinger 340, for those not in the know. )
Seriously? You think this is going to happen to someone?jdogric12 wrote:(in response to no one in particular) Just wait til someone files a police report with your serial number and you hear a knock at the door.
Over here the VIN is actually the only thing that can be shared freely, it's the owner's info that is protected by law! Besides, criminals do not care what VIN belongs to what model/year/colour - I know that from experience working in automotive!jdogric12 wrote:I love this!!! Everyone start posting your VIN's!

I suspect the same thing is true in the U.S. After all, there's nothing in a VIN that's not freely available on the internet other than tying the actual sequential production number of the VIN to a particular automobile. And if someone wants to get that, all they have to do is read it through the windshield.electrofaro wrote:Over here the VIN is actually the only thing that can be shared freely, it's the owner's info that is protected by law!collin wrote:Stop the madness!!

In terms of publicly outing those responsible for mine going from a 76 to a 79, I'm taking the patient route so I'm still awaiting that moment of pleasure....8mileshigh wrote:Yeah one of my basses came back with a different serial number on it after restoration. It had gone from a 68 to a 96! LOL
It got sorted out though.
