I agree....that's why we are here.

If you want a copy of the CHP stuff that I have, just let me know.

I am seriously considering the VIN/DSO project that Brian mentioned. That way, we can have a "representative" sample of order numbers and VIN ranges for a given agency...something to serve as a quick reference for a member who is trying to determine what agency a car might have served with.

Either way, it's still up to us to verify the accuracy of what's being put out there. Junk in=junk out.
