| 词条 | VIN cloning |
| 释义 |
VIN cloning or car cloning, is a practice of using a vehicle identification number (VIN) from a legally registered car to hide the identity of a stolen or salvaged vehicle.[1] The procedure involves replacing the serial plate of a stolen or salvage repaired vehicle with a plate containing the number of a validly registered vehicle of similar make, model and year from another state, province or country. The use of this practice by organized theft rings is partially responsible for the creation of national databases such as the National Motor Vehicle Title Information System[2] in the United States and the Personal Property Securities Register in Australia and New Zealand.[3] The problem with VIN cloning is potentially very large with the FBI reporting one case in Tampa, Florida, in which more than 1,000 cloned cars were sold to buyers in twenty states and several countries, with estimated losses of more than $27 million to consumers, auto insurers, and other victims.[4] If the purchaser of a cloned vehicle has its true pedigree discovered, the car will be confiscated, and owner would still be responsible for any outstanding loans. In some states in the United States, the car dealership may be held responsible.[5] The owner of the legitimately registered vehicle the number belongs to, could potentially be accused of a variety of offenses – from parking tickets to serious criminal activity like organized crime. The victim could spend a great amount of time and money trying to prove that were not the owner of the cloned vehicle. The practice has also been reported in numerous countries including Canada,[6] the United Kingdom,[7][8] and Australia.[9] References1. ^{{cite web|title=Steering Clear of Car Cloning|url=https://www.fbi.gov/news/stories/2009/march/cloning_032409|website=The Federal Bureau of Investigation|accessdate=4 August 2015}} 2. ^{{cite web|title=What is the purpose of NMVTIS?|url=http://www.vehiclehistory.gov/nmvtis_faq.html#purpose|website=National Motor Vehicle Title Information System|accessdate=4 August 2015}} 3. ^{{cite web|title=Don't Be a victim|url=http://www.carsafe.com.au/images/stories/pdfs/NMVTRC%20Legit%20DL%20Bro%207.pdf|website=Carsafe|publisher=National Motor Vehicle Theft Reduction Council|accessdate=5 August 2015}} 4. ^{{cite web|last1=Couvertier|first1=Dave|title=Car-cloning Subjects Being Sought|url=https://www.fbi.gov/tampa/press-releases/2009/ta032509.htm|website=Federal Bureau of Investigation|accessdate=4 August 2015}} 5. ^{{cite web|title=Important Consumer Advice about Vehicle Cloning|url=http://www.flhsmv.gov/safetytips/Cloning.htm|website=Florida Department of Highway Safety and Motor Vehicles|accessdate=13 August 2015}} 6. ^{{cite web|last1=Hoekstra|first1=Gordon|publisher=Vancouver Sun|title=Cloning scam leaves buyers without wheels|url=http://www.canada.com/story.html?id=887b2167-83c4-43ca-9967-4ae866f2cb58|website=Canada.com|accessdate=4 August 2015|date=March 29, 2012}} 7. ^{{cite web|last1=Reynolds|first1=Emma|title=From Mr Fixits to Mr Jailbirds|url=http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2171345/1m-masterminds-Britains-biggest-stolen-car-cloning-racket-sold-60-vehicles-elaborate-scam.html|website=The Daily Mail|accessdate=4 August 2015}} 8. ^{{cite web|last1=Blake|first1=Ashley|title=CAR CLONING|url=http://www.bbc.co.uk/insideout/westmidlands/series7/car_cloning.shtml|website=BBC|accessdate=4 August 2015}} 9. ^{{cite journal|last1=Carroll|first1=Ray|title=PARTNERSHIPS: FROM RHETORIC TO REALITY (A CASE STUDY IN VEHICLE THEFT PREVENTION)|date=12 September 2012|page=8|url=http://www.aic.gov.au/media_library/conferences/crimpre/carroll.pdf|accessdate=5 August 2015|publisher=Australian Institute of Criminology}} 4 : Consumer fraud|Car crime|Vehicle security systems|Forgery |
