The police in my city have closed the case because they don't really investigate auto thefts. Please, I really really need help because I'm still paying a car note and my car is totaled. I think the person who stole my car needs to be prosecuted.

Free VIN decode

Found this info on the motor vehicles infowebsite for free vin info and there is 5 records on this item. I would contact Chrysler Canada (as VIN # is Canadian) about this item and hopefully they will be able to help you. I would also contact the place where you are making payments on the car and tell them what has happened. I would also contact the police again and ask them that you want to have the report still opened. Sounds fishy that the police have already closed the file. That is terrible to what they did to you. I would contact your car insurance company and explain what happened and they can hopefully help you. GO to the Licence Bureau and report that your car has been vandilized and you want to report that your car has a different VIN # in it and hopefully they will have record of it. Also with the make of your car (check your vehicle permit) and contact the dealership where you bought the car, or if it is for an example a GM product contact General Motors Customer Service Dept and explain to them what has happened

If you're buying a used car, be careful. You could be buying one that has been stolen, thanks to a new crime fad.
We are talking auto identity theft and it's all about stealing Vehicle Identification Numbers (VINs).
More than 225-thousand out of one-point-five million vehicles stolen each year are given cloned VIN numbers.
Carfax reports that VIN cloning has cost consumers and insurance companies four billion dollars over the past decade.
Here's how it works: Thieves copy VIN numbers of legal cars, then make new VIN plates for stolen cars. Your VIN, a 17-digit alpha-numeric code is sort of like the Social Security number for the car. State motor vehicle departments requre a vehicle identification number to register a vehicle. Add a faked title and cloned VIN to a stolen vehicle and you've got a sale that might look good, but it isn't.
The victims are hit on both sides -- the stolen number and the unsuspecting buyer of the cloned vehicle.
If you purchase a cloned car police will seize the property and you will lose the money you spent on it. Cloned cars turn up everywhere.
Police say you can protect yourself on the buyer's side by making sure you know the background of who is selling you a vehicle.
Getting a CarFax report on any potential purchase is also a good $15 investment. Don't forget to also check the StolenCarReports database to see if your vehicle has been stolen.
Thieves are less likely to steal and clone a car that will require them to replace all of the windows. For that reason it is worth the $20 investment to purchase a do-it-yourself VIN etch kit or find out when your local police can do this for you.
Take care and lets get auto theft under control! There are too many cars out there that have to many different parts on them and they are also stealing our name.

The absolutely free reverse vin check sites generally provide fake information. To get real information, money will have to be paid. The free searches provide fake information so they can get your email address to send spam.
Stay away from shady reverse vin check sites, most likely you won't get any information after you make the payment. Not to mention you won't get a report and you won't get an answer if you try to call for a refund. Stick with a reputable reverse vin check site like http://www.reversevincheck.net that has been around since 1995.

If its stolen, it should have been settled by your Ins. co. Let them know about the VIN doors. You can also call the police to have them run the VIN number (it maybe from another stolen car). If it is they will have to take another report (recovered stolen property) and hopefully they can investigate more

if your car is brand new then your insurance might not cover your damage because all new cars have a computer chip and they can only be stolen with the right key. unless someone stole your car keys too. so if someone stole your car keys then insurance might cover it. or part of it. but if someone didn't still your keys count on your insurance company calling you a liar.
