Hidden VIN's trump the VIN tag. It happened here in PA many years ago, I was mere days away from being called as a witness to a lawsuit between two cars - one had the hidden VIN's and orig TT, the other car had restamped hidden VIN's, restamped TT and orig VIN tag. It was a messy situation, but in the end the rightful owner got his orig VIN tag back after the PA State Police physically removed it from the fake car, and unfortunately the fake car owner had to absorb the loss due to no fault of his own.... Sad, but true.

Marlin, that's what I thought would or should happen. Sucks for the fake car owner but it is what it is. BUT I guess the guy with the fake would have "just cause" to get his $$$ back from who he got the car from, and so on down the line? Like a chain-reaction car crash. Once the people who were in-line start sueing the previous owner, it would get back to the one who originally "made" the fake and he's stuck with the bill? If he's still alive....

In the scenario I described, the person who created the fake car had died. There was literally nobody left to sue....and it wouldn't have mattered much, the profit was long gone spent....

Marlin, in Canada the debt would stay forever with a court judgement. So even if the $$$ were spent, you can put a lien against there house. NOTHING can happen with there house now until lien is cleared. Suck but at least there is a small pot bat the end of the rainbow at least.
