Hide the HINs

Have a read of the link on my previous post. Apparaently the police cannot use "made by" stickers as proof of ownership, only the HIN works.

Have a look at glass boats from the major manufacturers, the HIN is normally cut in to the glass with an etcher at the stern of the boat and is only 1/2" tall. As the constable suggested in his article hide the HIN in a couple of places so that bad guys cannot find them all.
