Lime fights back against QR code snatchers

Lime, the e-bike and scooter-hire company, is modifying its vehicles to stop people peeling off the QR codes, BBC reports.

To hire a vehicle, customers must scan the QR code using the Lime app.

Lime said vandals had been peeling the stickers off. It has now started sealing the QR codes behind a plastic layer to thwart trouble-makers.
