Hansub Lee designed this Finger Reader for visually-impaired people. The idea is that scanning bar codes with the "finger" will send information about the product to the user's blue tooth, making shopping much more convenient. It can even, additionally, be worn around the neck as a unique fashion accessory.

an almost exact story. The guy there was mere minutes away from pulling it off. He pulled the tape away that was covering a little peep hole. Delivery guy just happened to look that way and saw his eyeball. GGGGGG
Gotta give them both an award for chutzpah if nothing else. GGGG
Some people pull similar ideas on boxes that are going to be sent by air. They don't realize the cargo holds aren't pressurized. What a horrible way to go.
Finally, I read of some guy that stowed away on an airliner in the wheel well for the nose wheel. Can't remember if he lived.
Anyway, about the box guy: it just feels good when somebody pulls a caper, even if they're bad folks. Like the people that robbed Harry Winston's. Heists!
