If you cover the VIN number on your car can the repo man still repo the car?

There are several places where you can find the VIN other than on the dash. We try to verify the VIN that way first and if we are unable to do so that way, here in Ohio I can call my local police department and they will verify the VIN by cross checking it with the license plates on the vehicle. If the car has the correct plates for that make and model of vehicle and the VIN doesn't match the one that I'm looking for, then I leave. If the plates don't match the type of vehicle, then the police will impound the car for having fraudulent or incorrect plates and we can verify VIN from the police impound lot and repo it from there.
More Information:
Most REPO people will just try the key and if it works GO. This is of course illegal but they don't care. That's why it is important to change the locks and frequency of the auto locks.
Cars with incorrect plates can only be towed on PUBLIC property. If it is parked in a driveway or parking lot (say at your office) this is PRIVATE and cannot be towed. Unless the owner of the property says so.
A smart repo agaent will VERIFY the VIN before taking the car. Most people don't cover all the VINs.

Can a repo man lift a car cover to check if its the right car?
A repo man can check under the hood of a car to make sure it's the right car. They will look under to check that the vin number matches the vin number of the car they are repossessing.
IF you hide the VIN number can the car still be repo?
Yes! Better make sure you hide all the vin numbers and remove your plates:) Seriously hiding the vin will make no difference, only make it harder for the repo man to id.

If you hide the VIN number can the car still be repossessed?
Yes, all ya gotta do is open the door and check the VIN.... Repo men are just not allowed to open a locked door.... We can and do open the door there is no criminal intent and as long as there is not damage to the car there is no reason to complain. Also there are other places to find the vin# on a car besides the dash. A car must be correctly identified before a repossession agent can secure the vehicle. Whether it's by the VIN off the dash or not, it can be repossessed even if the VIN is covered on the dash.
