FITBIT – TRACKS CALORIES, HEART RATE, STEPS ETC)

Shoplifters are getting a bit more sophisticated these days.  60-year-old Ray Swanger of Dunlap went in the Crossville Wal-Mart and picked up a Fitbit.   He then covered up the bar code on the item with a fake bar code which scanned in at $4.95 at the self-serve check out counter.  Trouble is, the Fitbit was actually priced at $99.95.  Almost got away with it.  Store security nabbed him at the exit doors.  Swanger was apparently proud of his ingenuity though – he told police that he had pulled the same bar code switch at several other Wal-Marts in the area.
