This smacks of urban legend to me... so off to snopes.com we go:

Source for info regarding rumours, scams, and hoaxes. They say it's not 
a serious concern for most. Unless you're running a used car lot.

The VINs on my vehicles is covered by a piece of black electrical tape and 
can't be read.

Easy to do and maybe a good idea.

I was warned about this by a Cop friend a long time ago.
