Due to several reported problems by members purchasing cars, MOST of us here on Trifive are aware that *some people* remove, or replace, VIN plates on cars... (also COWL plates, although that one just destroys the history of the car's production, and isn't necessarily illegal)...
It's ILLEGAL to remove automobile VIN plates... but many people do this; some with good intention to re-install it upon completing a restoration or rebuild, but others do it to deceive/defraud/etc...
Here is an example of someone who illegally did it, but was too dumb to even make sure he used the a VIN plate that *might* fool some people... HE used a chevelle VIN plate on a Camaro! and now is trying to sell it... NOT an :alberteinstein: ...

It's back. '69 Camaro with a '69 Chevelle VIN tag. Or maybe it's just a VERY rare Camaro???? *L*
