Baldino, a freshman electrical-engineering student at the University of Colorado, told police that he made phony bar codes from real bar codes taken from inexpensive merchandise, then glued those bar codes on to big-ticket items at Target, according to the police report.

....and then return it.. yeah it's called barcoding.

Welcome to 1995.

except back then, they don't check for it as much as they do now. Barcode generators are free thanks to the internet...

it's easier than ever to do now thanks to that, and the self checkout lines. Not that I condone that type of activity.
