it might mean jack to an insurance company, police dept or other states, ie, in sc or wherever.....

now is the time to correct the error, not when the car is stolen.

in mich we too get a mich state assigned vin, but it is an easily removed sticker. once that is gone , removed by a perp maybe, the only thing left to id the car are the stamped mfr numbers.

i would hate to think they recovered my stolen car and i could not prove it was mine cuz the paperwork said 123 and the car said 124 or whatever. same on an insurance claim perhaps.

just another viewpoint. bill
