A man at the gas station took a picture of my car VIN #?

I was at a gas station and a guy came over and was talking to me about my car. He said he was looking to get a new one and mine looked really cool (which it is nice ) . I go inside to pay for my gas and come out to him taking a picture of my car front and back . I go into my car to lock up my wallet and he takes a pick of inside my door where the PSI and VIN is.

What can he do with this info? He seemed nice .... but can it be something else ?

    This information can be used to create a false identity on a stolen vehicle. They steal one just like yours and then add your numbers so they can pass it off as legitimate. It makes it very difficult for the police to ever know it is a stolen vehicle.  They could commit crime in that 'copycat' vehicle but all the official records would point to YOU.
