Well it's the indentification nr. of your precious Cali .
If one writes it down when your Cali is parked on the drive or parkinglot , and knows his way arround , they can get a spare key and simply drive of in your Cali.
Thats why mine looks like this....

Just a pice of black paper , slide between the dash and the window.
Easy .....
It's no 100% anti theft but it can be a week point.
Haven't tested if one can easy order a spare key without any further legimitation , but i got a spare key at my dealer , they just needed that VIN number ( Vehicle Identification Number)
Can imagine one with intetions of steeling cars got connections and have the possibility to oder spare keys.
