at best the car is worth $3k and probably (knowing most 86-87 Turbos) not worth more than $1500...

Don't think too many people are gonna go out and trace a car down by the VIN and go and steal a FC worth $1500

You're right.
A Mazda dealer that doesn't do enough checks will cut keys if you just tell them the VIN.

I have an easy way to counter that.
I run a lock set that's not original.

What's preventing someone from just cracking your glass and breaking into the car or just towing it away?

These things are not Ferrari's.
But I do respect owners privacies with the Registry - if you don't want any or part of your VIN posted, I will leave that part of the info out.
