I know the VIN on my wife's car. It'd be beyond a few boundaries to track her vehicle and internal cameras if, say, we split up at some point.
You can read the VIN of neighbors and significant others pretty easy.

The VIN on my Toyota is displayed right beneath the windshield. Anyone can walk up to my car and read it.
VIN being visible through the windshield is a legal requirement in US.
More accurately, you can’t alter or remove the VIN. I don’t believe it has to be visible at all times. Some car owners obscure their VIN because of public sourced databases like Vinwiki.
