68TopStock,

I wasn't directing that ..."pumped" for the VIN quote at you at all.

Since one can't do a "title search" or "title chain search" (as some DMV/state tax commissions/vehicle registrars call them) anymore due to the Federal Privacy Act of 199x, I'm not sure of a legit reason why anyone needs the VIN to help in tracking this car down.

Oh sure, once it's located it would provide final verification that it's the same car I'm looking for.

Maybe I'm missing something, but how would you track a car using it's VIN other than the following....

(a.) State DMV (any and all states it was every registered in.

(b.) NCIC

(c.) NICB (National Insurance Crime Bureau's

(d.) ????
