On the topic of Fender Tags- what if you don't have it?

I do have a sense of humor, but I was part of an investigation years ago. It wasn't my car, but the local PD asked my opinion on a Mopar that had obviously had a different fender tag pop riveted on it. I showed them the "hidden" VIN areas the State Patrol told them about. It was a crappy attempt at putting a different fender tag and dash VIN to sell a stolen car with junkyard parts. IIRC, the last Hemi 'Cuda, found in France, was faked, too. They were prepping it for shipping to the US for a high dollar show. The Feds told them it would be seized upon landing in a US port. I'll see if I can find the story. Worthless trivia from an old man with a slipping clutch. For more trivia, look up the Hemi 'Cuda convertible seized in Everett, Washington years ago, and auctioned at BJ for big money. I know, old man stories....
