Dude, you completely miss the point.........as Jwilly noted very well. Doesn't matter if it was an innocent mistake or not. Simply breaking a confidentiality agreement is not criminal.
And what do you know, it comes to light today that the guy was not arrested. While I don't consider "thegmsource" website to be a rock-solid source, it appears they did their homework by checking police records.
As far as opening the hood goes, how is that any different than opening the car door? To transport a car, you have to open doors, unless you are somehow going to magically get it on a plane or truck without rolling it. To transport a box, you don't need to open the box. I think one could make a reasonable argument that by shipping a car you need to open the trunk and hood to look for any significant loose pieces.
