Can you ID a VIN/owner from a chipped key?

Can a dealer read a chipped key and find the VIN of the car and possibly the owner (assuming it's the original owner)? Everything I've found online only talks about cutting a key from the VIN, but nothing the other way around. This is a Honda key, if it matters.

I found a set of keys on my way home last week and I'd like to return them to the owner.
