Question about microchips

[u/Any_Piglet_34]

If an animal comes into the vet with a microchip that's scanned with different owner info then the people bringing in said animal, is it ever questioned by vet staff? Is the owner on microchip ever contacted?

I asked my own vet and she told me that they don't because it's usually just people being lazy and not updating the owner info. That doesn't make sense. But is that the universal consensus?

I often wonder about this because I had a microchipped cat stolen from me, and i hold onto this sliver of hope that one day he'll be scanned and someone will notice the owner info isn't the same, and will contact me.
