Yeah, different departments have different policies. As far as looking up things and telling people outside of law enforcement, that is a big no no!!!!

I would call your local LASO substation and see if they have an auto theft detective. That person can do a VIN check for you and it's part of their job as an investigator. I know, because that's what I used to do.
