Yes, as stated earlier in the thread, don't assume that no news is good news. No where is it advertised as a catch all - they can only show what has been properly reported as stolen, and I'm sure some of those fall through the cracks as well. But if you are looking at a car, it certainly doesn't hurt to run the VIN and see if it does come up - would save you a lot of headaches for later.
On a side note - I hope your buddy didn't have knowledge of a "second VIN" before he bought this car. Anything like that just screams trouble to me.
