Re vin-ing stolen cars used to be a big thing and was pretty easy to do years ago.

All you needed was the vin id plate from a seriously damaged or wrecked legit car . Just reweld the vin plate onto the hot car and presto you had a car with a title and tags. But alot of things have changed. While they still do it, its gotten alot more complex.

Now what some guys do is steal a car, then strip it and then put the stripped car back on the street so it will be recovered. Then they try to buy the stripped car at the insurance auction for cheap. Then they put the parts right back on the same car.
