Not surprisingly, I have not had this happen. I have talked to lots of random people when I was driving the Insight, they wanted to know what it was etc, but that was it. I've had people track me down for stuff I have had in underground storage - that would have taken them some effort because I am not easy to find ha ha, but it was always old stuff, never anything eco-related. My Civic VX sits in the big "storage yard" right next to my old Dodge Grumann step van, and I get asked all the time about selling the van but never the VX!

As for the stalking of eco-cars, I admit I have stopped and looked at the odd VX parked on a side street now and then, and may have even knocked on a door or two asking about the car, but I have my hands full with all the rescues as it is. The only one I see on a regular basis that I don't want to miss is the Merc 240D with a 4 speed that a dealer owns and drives once in a while, I don't think he's ever washed it in the years he's owned it, but he knows when he wants to get rid of it to call me first.
