Not that useful if you live in a state that includes the VIN on the registration document on the windscreen, or if you're required to display such by law, but, hey, if that helps stop them load it on a flat-bed, go ahead.

I went to a Chev dealership the other day to get a spare key cut and they asked me for my driver's license and the registration to the car. More than likely it is policy for all GM dealerships to ask for proof of ownership when getting keys cut.

Last time I got a spare key, I had to provide proof of ownership.

Yes, this is now standard policy at GM Dealeships to thwart would-be car thieves! Amen!

There are also hidden VIN numbers stamped on several places on the vehicle. Usually somewhere on the bottom of the chassis and on a couple different spots on the frame. Different manufacturers place their hidden VIN's in different spots on the vehicle. The manual for the location of the hidden VIN numbers is sold to law enforcement personnel only. The manual is used extensively by auto theft investigators.
