What does the warning mean?

there was a similar instance in Seattle about 6mos ago. Some guy had his 68? Pontiac Firebird 400 (convertible? ) stolen from his garage. They put it on the local news, and it turned up about a month later. Somebody had gotten his VIN # and gotten anot her title in the thief's name, BEFORE it was stolen. Don't ask me about any details, it wasn't my car, I'm not really into Pontiacs, I've slept since then, and I don't know how it was done. It just was, and it was on the news.
