Yep, all major parts on all newer cars have the VIN# on them someplace but, they are easily removed or changed. Albeit, the VX is not a good candidate for parting outbut you'd be amazed to what folks will try and do. The most valuable parts are the sheet metal, which is usually stripped and primed and major electronics as well as the engine. The rest is scrapped. I hope that is not the case here but, also as Roy said it could be on it's way south.
