not to worry, I am CERTAIN that "car" is on the road today, probably sold at auction as a low mile (wrecked when it was new, is that what low mile means?) matching numbers car ...

Undoubtedly. In a small rural junkyard in the middle of Kansas, there's the remains of a 67 Shelby. I'm sure the car's missing V.I.N. numbers are resting comfortably on a six cylinder fastback in somebody's garage.

It has been going on for YEARS.
I am sure most people would be surprised at how many rebodied, clipped, brought back for being totalled type cars are out there and undetectable.
The insurance companies sanction it by selling totalled cars at auction rather then having them crushed. There are body shops that make a living exclusively from grafting two cars togather and reselling them. If you think they all have salvage titles you are wrong. I know in AZ. they used to take the AZ. title to N.M. and title it and the salvage disappeared. If the car was ever titled back in AZ. no one ever knew.
And we thought that "don't ask don't tell" was just a recent military term.

As for retagged cars couldnt you buy the shell of say a Mopar with the VIN on the Radiator support and go head hunting for the clown who cloned your car?

Depends on how smart the guy who stole your VIN was. I've owned both a Hemi Super Bee and a Six Pack Super Bee that were missing not only the tags, but the body stampings.
