About all you can do legally is run a Carfax to see if it's been registered recently or has any records, it will show city and state, but that's about it. Unfortunately VIN/current registered owner information is not available to the public.

The legality may vary state to state, but in the past I have been able to obtain a name and address using only a VIN and plate number by hiring a private investigator. They will usually do a DMV search for a flat rate (not hourly).
