RE: Alert, there may be a new Max-Wedge Rebody

[Bill <hemirr@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Dave's point about the title is good; many ways to get one, which is 
technically legit from that point on as far as ownership goes, since all of 
them will involve a police check for stolen on the VIN.  I tried to read the 
VIN on the auction and of course he's got the VIN plate itself partially 
covered, if anyone can read it from the sheet just let me know and I'll run 
it myself for stolen; that would be cool, to put the cops on his trail in 
his hometown.  Now the issue also becomes, what if the "cloner" smoothed the 
radiator support say by welding over and working it down, to restamp the 
correct numbers.  If there was a suspicion in the future, skilled police 
techs can acid etch ground down numbers to bring them up to readable, but 
welding over makes it just about impossible.  And of course, altering the 
shipping order number is not illegal in Indiana like altering the VIN is, 
and probably not anywhere else either.  They did use a unique font on the 
stamps, so it won't be easy to do it right.  But as the complete set of 
Harley Davidson VIN stamps with correct fonts being sold on eBay a while 
back shows, where there's a will.....
