Burn Notice2007

Michael Westen:
[narration] The actual theft of a car isn't difficult. The hard part is selling it once you have it. Between the license, registration, tax records, and VIN numbers, it's surprisingly hard to turn a car into cash. The best approach is to start with clean paperwork on another car from out of state. Then match the stolen car to the clean paperwork. That means new VIN tags, and a new registration. And in case someone decides to check closely, some hydrochloric acid and a file will make the etched VIN number on the car chassis impossible to read.
