I am under the impression that it is almost impossible to totally remove such
stamped on serial numbers. Infra-red or some such technology brings them back.
It might be that authorities were unwilling to use this in this case (expense?)
but I believe that the ghost of the number is still there. One would have to
grind off too much metal to remove the implanted image. Just a thought.
