Rating: mostly true. While the hard drive was not obtained illegally, the owner did have to open a laptop to remove it. This could involve screwinhg, unscrewing, prying, and if something is particularly stuck, hacking at it with something.
LOL. Yeah, I could see them twisting logic like that. I am curious, though, how access to the system was done - did Hunter give them the password, like some places ask, to get in, or did dumbs Hunter not have it password protected? I'm not accusing the guy of any wrong doing, however, it's pretty standard for repair places to ask for the security passwords, to get access.
Snopes claim: it was hacked
