Other probably easier places to find your VIN amount and never having to search the auto, are on the insurance credit cards or insurance coverage, or on the auto subscription or subject matter cards.
While you can take several measures, including legal remedies, to protect yourself against this, it would be better to conduct a lien search to ensure that you don’t get into any kind of trouble in the first place.
The VIN depends on your vehicle. It isn't any random 17 digit number. The last 6 digits are the serial number of your vehicle, while the other digits represent its model, manufacturing, etc.
A lien search is essentially a means to realize whether the vehicle comes with any debts. This is helpful in making sure that you won’t be burdened with someone else's debt.
