Prison stripes scan in as $19.99
I hope anyone who read our previous post about how easy it is to fake barcodes didn't take it as an endorsement to steal. It is the kind of thing that can get you in a lot of trouble. Just ask Jonathan Baldino, who was arrested in Boulder for using a $4.99 barcode to buy a pair of $150 iPod speakers at Target. You might want to laugh about getting busted for something so stupid, but I ask that you don't.
Instead, save your laughter for his written confession.
