I try to warn owners about pitfalls BEFORE damage or any aspect of law or enforcement becomes involved.
Here are some examples:

**********************************************
IMO everyone should be made aware of the potential risk/danger of dealing with VIN# tags.
United States law on this topic is incredibly complex, easily violated, and has draconian penalties.
US CODE: Title 18511. Altering or removing motor vehicle ...
TITLE 18 > PART I > CHAPTER 25 > § 511. Altering or removing motor vehicle identification numbers
Good fortune and best wishes.
