IF you hide the VIN number can car still be repo?

Hiding a VIN number will not prevent a repossession. Repo agents have many ways to identify a vehicle, including:

* License plate: This is the easiest way to identify a vehicle.

* Description: They'll have a description of the car (make, model, year, color).

* GPS tracking: Many lenders use GPS trackers installed in the vehicle.

* Other identifying marks: Scratches, dents, or other unique features.

While hiding the VIN might temporarily slow down the process, it's ultimately ineffective and could even lead to additional legal trouble for the borrower. It's considered obstruction and could result in further penalties.
