Lost my vin tag

I see this on here a lot. Why why why do people remove the vins, data plates etc, and not take the time or think to put them with the vehicles title in a damn gun safe, or at the very least in a safe deposit box at the bank or something where they cannot be misplaced. That one vin tag, which is a one of a kind, when misplaced, or permanently lost puts a major ******* on your project.

The vin for my kids 69 notchback is with its papers and a pair of fresh new vin rivets in my GUN SAFE where i know its secure. It will leave the safe only when its time to reinstall it to the cars dashboard.
