Can't decode a VIN barcode #24

JOB.js will correctly locate a VIN barcode, but won't decode it.

Example VIN barcodes: http://s793.photobucket.com/user/grahalau/media/IMG_1829.jpg.html http://www.acorninsure.co.uk/car-insurance/chassis-number-insurance/

This reader doesn't seem to have a problem reading them. (It says it's a Code39 barcode.) http://www.onlinebarcodereader.com/en.html

I'll take a look at it.

The issue is simply that it fails to decode, nothing to do with it being of VIN type as far as I can tell.
