| | VIN switching | Explanation:
http://home.wanadoo.nl/saroh/beveilig/diefst2.htm
Omkatten is moving the identity of a legal car to that of an ilegal car (often using a scrapped car's identity to 'legalise' a stolen car)
see http://www.auto-theft.info/VIN-switching.htm
VIN Switching is a technique used by thieves to disguise the identity of a stolen vehicle. They will replace the VIN on a stolen vehicle with a VIN that is not associated with an active theft record. The vehicle thief will then try to resell the stolen car to an unsuspecting customer. In addition to manually switching the VIN, some VIN switchers will also develop fraudulent titles and registrations to go along with the vehicle. |
