The VIN also gives the country and name and address of the vehicle owner
and here in Canada any creditors or your banking institution's name. If
you want your name and address and financing to be public, that might be
fine, but in this day of identity theft and the fact that chop shops can
print out 'new' VIN's.....

Folks should be aware just what and how much a VIN gives away....
