Ha ha! What a good plan!
What is weird though is rather than just repeating the events, the reporter also tells you how to replicate the crime.
- Do a goole search
- Download program
- Find actual barcode numbers for cheap items
- Replace stickers..
etc etc.
They even told us the problems with his plan. The kid was caught because the register said he was buying heaphones but he really got an iPod. So if you put the barcode for a 30GB iPod on a 60GB, or better yet the code for a shuffle on a 60GB they might not notice. They’d both show up as an iPod.
Um… yeah. Not that I would ever do such a thing, besides they practically told us what to do. I’m just pointing that fact out!
I just wanna sleep in my own bed tonight!
HA HA. What a weenie.
