Kim Metzger
: "spy out" for ausspionieren? "peep at" is another odd choice - wrong register.

eavesdrop
Just would use the word "eavesdrop". It is more directed to intelligence and nose around activity. Although it doesn't include the word "see" I would use that.
Other woud be "get possession of", but I think eavesdrop is better.
Hope this helps.
