The trooper let him off because he had admitted <br>> what he had done and was clearly not trying to pull any kind of "fast <br>> one."<br>> <br>> This is all in the name of preventing car theft, but it makes little <br>> sense since any vehicle inspection will always look for the number <br>> that's on the pan, and mis-matched numbers will always create <br>> questions, even if both numbers are legit.<br>> <br>> <br>> -- <br>> *******************************<br>> Jim Adney, jadney@vwtype3.org<br>> Madison, Wisconsin, USA<br>> *******************************<br>> <br>> _______________________________________________<br>> VWType3.Org mailing list - type3@vwtype3.org<br>> http://lists.vwtype3.org/listinfo.cgi/type3-vwtype3.org<br>> Contact gregm@vwtype3.org if you need help with the list.<br></div></div> </div></body>
