i dunno with you but i really find it weird finding a barcode in the middle of the book. bought this book from power books at shangri la mall a few days ago and was really surprised to see this barcode lying at the center of the book. completely new with sticker on and with those tiny wires, i dunno what you call those tracking thingy that is supposed to set off the alarm when you get our of a store without paying. nah i paid for the book and the book was sealed when i got it and the alarm didnt went off as well when i passed thru it but really, i just find it weird finding a bar code in the middle of a book. so it says barcode 80025 75540 wonder why they would put it in a book, was it a mistake or what? i dunno, just find it weird.
so anyone found a bar code in your book?

I just found the exact same barcode in my text book... odd!
i find it weird finding the same tag in my book. txt me!
I have two of those from two books I've bought.. exactly the same numbers too.
Just found one in a book of mine...kind of wierd. Wish I knew who, what, when, where, and WHY?
These are security labels used for checkpoint security towers. There placed in the middle of the book to make it harder for shoplifters to find them. As for the numbers, there actually the phone number for the manufacturer checkpoint security.

I thought this could be a ticket to Willy Wonka's Chocolate Factory :))))
I googled and I found a link on MySpace about it. Some girl had posted about it in he about me section that said if the barcode is found to please friend her and leave a comment about what country or state the barcode was found etc.
yeah me too i find it very strange ive only found it in books but ive had like 10 books with them in it and only since around the start of may....very strange
im from Michigan and i found this exact barcode in my college book. my barcode scanner on my phone couldnt scan it, thought it was weird
Hi,
We use these stickers on our products as anti-theft.
It's just a little RFID wich the portals at the exit will respond to.
I bought a late 1990's Phenoix Coyotes alternative Keith Tkachuk jersey from eBay and the sticker was located to the left of the starter tag on the neck. The bar code is pealing and it looks like it might be a security tag.
This is going international, I found it on a Webcam I bought in Spain, inside the box
They are still turning up, found one in a book in the UK this week
Found the exact same one in the middle of my book today! Was wondering what that was all about. GLAD I GOT AN ANSWER!!! Thanks guys!
i found the exact same barcode in my book. conincidence? the weird thing is that i bought my book in roanoke virginia at books-a-million.
I found this tag in GWR 2013 book it jest fell out of the center of the book while i was reading it
Well guys (& gals) I just found one today, in NC, on a Faux Paint Kit, covering up the original barcode. I took my hairdryer to it, to get to the real barcode and was amazed! The backing is aluminum foil or something metal. This has me wondering who would go to such trouble & expense.
I found the same thing in my new book. I think it's really odd. I quickly researched about it and a lot of people also find it in their notebook. Probably it's nothing I should worry about LoL
I just found the same barcode on the bottom of a pair of Y3 trainers on EBay!! Weird
It's nothing more than a tag to prevent shoplifting. As someone said, RFID. The reason it didn't set things off when you walk out of the store after buying it is that they have a pad thing that they swipe it over that deactivates the alarm portion.
I found one too, in a hardback copy of Dan Brown's Inferno. Could be harmless RFIDs, or could be something else. Personally, I think they could be dangerous in the wrong hands. Protect your rights.

I found this barcode tucked in the side of a used couch. I don't know if it was originally in a book. Found in Tampa Florida on 2/18/2014.
I found 2 in my Catching Fire book I bought the other day at Books-A-Million. Kinda freaked me out when I started looking it up.
Found the barcode on the middle of a book in Chattanooga TN!
Found the barcode in a junk drawer in my house in Iowa. Must have found it in a book and saved it.
I found it on my dress from Netherlands!
I found mine in a John Green book that I bought in Florida! Weird.
I also found mine while reading John Green's Paper Town. I thought we're the chosen ones though hahaha.
I just found the exact same barcode sticker in the middle of my book today. It was in a Shades of Earth book I bought in Canada (in chapters)
I found one in a Hunger Games companion guide I bought in Florida!
This bar code belongs to a dictionary Tagalog-English, sold by the National Book Store in the Philippines - no mystery then (:--))
I found one in my All The Bright Places book which I purchased in PowerBooks, Trinoma!!!
I found one today in A Work in Progress by Connor Franta, kind of freaked me out!
Found the same on top of my spiderman 2 walkie talkies box
i think its anti theft
I'm a big sci fi fan and i found this barcode in the book legend by marie lu. i was walking down the steps to my computer and i got this weird feeling like i was being watched and this barcode was part of some weird conspiricy or something. so i go and type "80025 75540" into my search bar, the first thing that comes up? 80025 75540 conspiracy. the next thing? it could be s tracker. i'm getting freaked out here!!!!!!!!!!!
Hi, I just found one in Burned by P.C Cast and Kristin Cast in Atlanta, GA. This is definitely weird since its been about 3-4 years since the post was first posted and it's the exact same number.
I found it in the collasal edition of attack on titan manga
I found mine in the second book of the end game series, I got the book in Florida at a books a million.
I just found this barcode in my new set of sheets of all places. New in package, ordered online.
Just found same barcode inside my painkillers package..i think it's just for anti-thief system
Same barcode too very odd... Hmm.
I found one in my book I just bought from BAM! Michigan.
I found one with the same exact numbers in my book I got from books-a-million and I was like ooooo what is this, but I guess it's just some anti theft thing I literally felt like I won some awesome amazing ticket some special thing for special someones and what if they put them in your books to track the specials to know where they are just in case they can only save a few people in the event of some sort of world ending thing and people only tell us theyre anti theft stuff so we ignor it. But I guess it's just one of those anti theft things whatever.
Chapter seven of 'Compound' and this barcode is just sitting there staring at me. I've had this book two years, and this is the second time I've read it... Where was it the first time?!? Peoria, IL
Found it in "Joker" the graphic novel. Bought this book in 2014 in Arkansas. Crazy how the same number travels the world
This is a code the government (CIA, NSA) uses to track your activity through your phone and credit card. All people who have the same number on will be considered belonging to the same terrorist network and eliminated some day. If you find it, stick it to someone else's clothes or where he can't find it...
4 years later and i found one in a book i bought also
Netherlands.
On a bottle Rémy Martin V.S.O.P. cognac
I found the same on my introduction to pharmaceutical calculations book in the UK
.......oh darn. i looked up this barcode in hopes that it would ID the maker of this beautiful woodcarving i found it on. oh well. thanks for the info!
i just foud the same inside a pair of new cheap pants
Just found it in a book in Australia! It was on the first page of a new chapter so thought maybe someone had been using it as a bookmark - makes a lot of sense to be an anti-theft thing though.
I just received the book, "Banjo: An Illustrated History," which I bought used off Amazon. This UPC label was between the pages. 3 July 2017.
Achei um na caixa do jogo UNO. Brasil!
Just found one in the middle is a Dave Ramsey book. Exact numbers
Unlike most, I found mine hidden inside my wallet. I recently passed through the indonesian international airport where my wallet and phone had been taking a while to get through the security scanners and checks. I was becoming suspicious but thought nothing of it after i shortly recieved them. However, having entered back in australia, the detectors in all the stores I walked through went off. So i opened my phone and wallet and found the stupid barcode hidden underneath my cards in my wallet. Could have been the security check, could have been before that. But ive had this wallet for a while now as well as the phone.
Like Mike, I've found mine between cards in the wallet. I was shopping and all detectors were turning on when I passed near them. I don't know where it got there..really odd.
