Third article about camera phones and identity theft

I found another article, datelined January 30, 2004, about New Jersey authorities (who are they? police?) warning shoppers that thieves could snap photos of shoppers' credit cards.

If you've read one article you've read them all. None of the articles provides any proof that this is easily done. Here's what the News 12 article (found on MSNBC) says:

"Officials in New Jersey are warning shoppers about identity thieves who are using camera phones to steal credit card information. They say the phones can take a picture of a credit card and thieves can, in turn, print out the person's name and credit card number.

"The information can be used in fraudulent purchases over the telephone and Internet.

"Authorities are advising people shopping in retail stores, supermarkets and restaurants to be aware of anyone loitering around with a cell phone in hand. Police are also telling consumers to keep a close eye on their credit cards and to only pull them out when they are about to pay."

Where's the evidence?

I'm not discounting the possibility of this. But I'm disgusted by the poor journalism that doesn't provide evidence of how easy (or not) this is to accomplish.
