You have a point and it is well taken. I've thought of that in the past, however I have a policy that I will not enable them to make said theft easier. That means I shield that information as much as possible.Humanphibian wrote:if they have the VIN.....assume they have your personal info as well, if they want it.

It's not legally valid, but it may earn you the benefit of the doubt.
I lost my wallet while traveling (entirely my fault), and the backup saved my bacon.

doing this also gives anyone who jacks your car copies of your personal information. I'm not sure I would be comfortable with that. I don't even leave proof of insurance in the car.
have the documentation in a locked and secure box in your car would be a good idea though. Of course, we all know it's only a matter of time before any lock is defeated.
I've been seriously thinking about getting a lock box in the car between the seats anyway for quick and easy gun storage when I have to leave the piece in the truck.
