Is Re-vinning illegal?

Simple question... if the car is re-vinned, is that illegal?

Assuming it was all done legally overseas... is it legal?

Illegal (but there are many out there that have done it)
Not that it makes it right.

How does one 'legally re-vin overseas'

wanna guess what happens if Customs (now Homeland Security) determines the VIN has been changed?

I think they actually crush the cars if they find that they have been tampered with... is that correct?
