Help... Vin #'s dont match

So can I take the partial vin I have from the deck lid to Highway Patrol and have them check it???

The rear deck is just a bit of metal with numbers on it. From a legal standpoint you bought VIN *** which is on the title and on the VIN plate.

The fact that your rear deck has VIN YYY means nothing. Only YOU know it has YYY stamped on it. If you don't mention it to anyone, any concerns that VIN YYY is stolen disappears.
