You're reaching pretty far... The car had to be readily available to *somebody* for him to get the VIN. That somebody could have just as easily retrieved the paint code directly. -- Regards, Doug Miller (alphageek at milmac dot com) It's time to throw all their damned tea in the harbor again. |

Why do you say that (The car had to be readily available to *somebody* for him to get the VIN)? As long as I have my auto registration or proof of insurance certificate with me (I keep it in my wallet), I can tell you my VIN no matter where my car is. |
