Don't Call Tech Support
From Slashdot -
Timothy Short must have thought he'd hit the mother-lode when he stole a PC and a Digimarc printer from the Missouri Department of Revenue, perhaps with dreams of cranking out thousands of fake ids. Problem was he could not unlock the computer he stole and without the necessary drivers, he couldn't use the printer. Ever resourceful, Short called Digimarc tech support a couple of days later, which brought him to the attention of a Secret Service agent, who recognized his voice from a recording of the calls.
Short now faces a $250,000 fine and up to 10 years in prison.
