Stolen blazer / question about VIN

[bygtime]

Hello, I registered here just for this question. My 71 blazer was stolen from the restoration shop it was in. Stupidly the metal Vin tag on the door jamb was removed by someone who didn't know what the hell they were doing but that's another story. My blazer was stolen and I'm wondering if the police come across it will they be able to identify it by the partial Vin stamp on the frame? I'm just concerned since it's just a partial Vin and not the entire thing..
