<VV> Vin. Nos.

[corvair at mts.net]

Any time you see an email that says FORWARD THIS TO ALL YOUR FRIENDS, you can assume it's an email hoax. They usually start with a grain of truth then head off into space from there. There's not a dealer in the land that could cut you a Corvair key based on VIN, those records are long gone and likely the locks have been changed in the past 40 years anyways.

For more info on this (and other Internet hoaxes) please see

      Here is info worth the price of your car
        WHAT WILL THEY THINK OF  NEXT?
       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  #.
    My friend didn't  believe this e-mail, so she
called a dealer
and pretended she had lost her  keys. They told her to
just bring in the
VIN #,and they would cut her one on the spot, and she
could order the 
keyless device if she  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.

> > > >     Slip a 3 x 5  card over the VIN  NUMBER.
  IF YOU  DON'T DRIVE.   PASS THIS INFORMATION ON TO 
ALL YOUR  FRIENDS.
