Retail Thieves Get Sophisticated

Don't know if you caught the NBC report on retail thieves. There's a new breed that is using hand signals, cell phones, and--most interesting of all--fake bar code. The "Lego bandit" stole $600,000 worth of Legos over 3 years. The method? He faked bar-codes and applied them over the real bar-code. This made $100 sets of Legos ring up for $19.99 or so.

Tricky...
