?It might be that the first few numbers kind of indicates the series or age of 
the device. This seems common when selling many things. It probably isn't a 
secret.

I don't know what someone could do with the serial number of a radio but who 
knows these days. That and your date of birth might get all your bank accounts 
hacked. (just kidding)
