VIN cloning
VIN cloning or car cloning, is a practice of using a vehicle identification number (VIN) from a legally registered car to hide the identity of a stolen or salvaged vehicle.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=https://www.fbi.gov/news/stories/2009/march/cloning_032409 )〕 The procedure involves replacing the serial plate of a stolen or salvage repaired vehicle with a plate containing the number of a validly registered vehicle of similar make, model and year from another state, province or country. The use of this practice by organized theft rings is partially responsible for the creation of national databases such as the National Motor Vehicle Title Information System〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.vehiclehistory.gov/nmvtis_faq.html#purpose )〕 in the United States and the Personal Property Securities Register in Australia and New Zealand. The potential problem with VIN cloning is potentially very large with the FBI reporting one case in Tampa, Florida in which more than 1,000 cloned cars were sold to buyers in 20 states and several countries, with estimated losses of more than $27 million to consumers, auto insurers, and other victims. If the purchaser of a cloned vehicle has its true pedigree discovered, the car will be confiscated, and owner would still be responsible for any outstanding loans. In some states in the US, the car dealership may be held responsible.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.flhsmv.gov/safetytips/Cloning.htm )〕 The owner of the legitimately registered vehicle the number belongs to, could potentially be accused of a variety of offenses – from parking tickets to serious criminal activity like organized crime. The victim could spend a great amount of time and money trying to prove that were not the owner of the cloned vehicle. The practice has also been reported in numerous countries including Canada, the United Kingdom, and Australia. ==References==
