Recovering your serial number

Yes the serial number can be recovered with the use of acid but it has to be done by a trailed detective or investigator. Once the number is stamped into the steel it actually lines up the molecules of the steel in that order. Even if you grind it off of the surface the acid will bring it up to the surface. However, once it brings it up to the surface it has to be photographed since it is only for a brief period and the acid will do more damage. You may want to contact this web site NICB Description
which works with the National Auto Theft Bureau for some help.
Your local or state police department should have an expert that can help you out. Good luck.
