I have a convertible that I took the VIN off because it's sitting in someone else's yard a long way away from me, and I don't want them stolen off of it. I also titled another car that is in the yard and left a sign on the VIN that it is sold and titled now. I didn't both to take those off because it isn't as desirable.

and in other cases, car was either stolen and recovered or scrapped/accidented and when brought to yard, VINS are automatically removed and destroyed to avoid any attempt of fraud..
BTW what 's with the
front of the fenders still being intact while rest of body has severe surface rust??? Were they covered???
