Don't know if this is a repost, if so please delete.

But how stupid can you be? He goes an buys a $149.99 iPod with a headphones barcode label for $4.99. Got too greedy and now he's paying for it. Should have used something less obvious, like a iPod Nano <-> iPod Shuffle swap.

If anyone is interested 😉 you can get Barcode Magic with a 15 day trial here.
 
What a whiner. Please let me go home!! blah blah blah

Toss his thieving ass away for some time. At least make him miss Christmas.
 
wait....how did they even catch him?? Why didn't he just raise a stink at the check-out and act like they were inconveniencing him, rather than folding up and whining?!?! I can imagine about a dozen ways he could've gotten away with that....wow

they caught him because he bought an ipod for $4.99. Greedy SOB.
 
His crying statements to the police are pretty damn pathetic. "I'm just a kid!" That might have worked 4 years ago, but you're screwed now buddy.
 

And he's EE student too. I thought they should be smarter than this.

I'm surprised he didn't say "I want my mommy" in the police report.

hahahaha seriously. what a whiner
 
he's not that screwed. It will get knocked down to misdemeanor larceny or something like that. Especially if he returns the mercahndise and or money.

They don't put white college kids in jail.

Yep, and on job applications, he will always be able to explain it away with "college prank that I should have known better not to do."

Theft by deception. Its basically equally punishable to shoplifting. Being a "white college kid" has nothing to do with whether he'll see jail or not. Not using a handgun to commit his crime is what wont lock him up for 20 years.

heh, well i know they do check your bag and receipt, at least the walmart near me does, but i wonder if they just look at just what the items are or the prices too? i've never used the self-checkout things. most of the time the person doing the checking is a old lady or old man, lol.

yoru right the sentence should have read "They don't put white college kids in jail for non-violent crimes"
 
That's something so sketchy that it should have been done once at a target he normally didn't shop at. Moron.

by checking bag and receipt you mean they stare just count items... that's a useless security measure.

also, it's been done.. the couple got away w/ 1.5 mil i think? but they got caught of course.

This dude was just plain stupid. a nearly 100% discount....
