Barcode spoofer caught stealing iPod shuffle

Barcode printing, barcode creation apps, and barcode spoofing are really nothing new — but you have to be of a certain persuasion to walk right into a Target with a fake barcode for $4.99 headphones and try and walk back out with an iPod shuffle for your trouble. Perhaps some might call that the poor college student persuasion, but apparently 19 year old Colorado college student Jonathan Baldino actually made it past the register with his $4.99 purchase, only to be halted by one of those receipt checking door guards. Now dude’s facing a criminal felony count of forgery and two misdemeanor counts of theft (he’d admitted to trying the fake-barcode trick on a CD player, before). Sucks to be 18 and out in the world, kid, but you’ve got to grow up and buy your gadgets like the rest of us, dig?
