Nope. Our vehicles here in the states do conceal their VIN #'s in
various places on the vehicle. But their still pop-rivited into the
dash, and have stickers with bar codes, and build info attached to the
doors & door sills. I had a coworker who's car was stolen. They
stripped the thing down to chassis, and did a sloppy job of slapping
the old, dented body panels back together, sans VIN info. Except of
course the pop-rivited VIN plate on the dash.

I am convinced that the security features of a VIN apply only to
honest people. Especially after watching any H.B. Halicki film. Who
knows if I've ever purchased a stolen vehicle...
