Default Security Tags on Clothes HELP

I bought some jeans yesterday and it was only when i got home i realised that they still had the security tag on

I cant take em to a local shop as the shop i bought em from was a 1 off type shop ie not an everyday NEXT or summat that u see in most high streets.

Im sure they work on a magnet system. Is there anyway i can get this off myself? If not i will prob end up throwing them in the bin rather than travel the 60 odd miles back to the shop!

PS. i do have the receipt to prove i bought em i didnt nick em. LOL

There is a pin that joins them together, maybe you could get a hacksaw blade between it carefully?

Take them to your local supermaerket, as long as they dont sell them and you have a receipt to prove it i wouldnt see why they cant use their magnet things to take them off

Simply place a large magnet against the Plastic side of the security tag(the big round magnet from the back of a speaker is perfect)and pull the metal pin out of the other side....

And no,we are NOT all shoplifters in Liverpool...

Right just tried that i removed my sub and there was a hole thru the magnet so i stuck the white bit with the raised dome on it into the hole and no sign of release of the metal pin.

Not to keen on the other methods that some of u are sayin would prefer not to use tools for the job.lol

Try pushing the pin in first to release it,failing that as Dave says cut the plastic dome open and you will be able to remove the spring and pull out the pin....

i aint kidding,,,,, shes a PROPER old school resident from liverpool,,,,, i only think she moved to london cause there a little sharper on scams in pool


ive been with her shopping when shes eaten chocolate bars whilst shopping and not paied for em,,,,, but the FUNNIEST thing she does is in the pub a few years ago she got the barman to buy a set of cards as a ice breaker due to some new family members about ect,,,,, he went out, bought a set and NOBODY wanted to play cards so she stuck em in her pocket,,,,,,,, shes just a thief !!!!


shes got about 400 million lighters too that she borrows and nicks,,,,,

the liverbird in liverpool should be replaced for a fucking magpie imo,,,, as if its shiny some fooker from toxteth will have it in his pocket or if its too big the next morning will be in his garden shed with a tea towel covering it till it " cools down a little"


all the rumors about liverpool are true,,,, the only people who deny it are the residents


you just gotta see the quality of the old bill in pool and see a copper from london to see the difference,,,, your old bill dont miss a trick\


AND AS THEY SAY,,,, ITS CAUSE ALL THE SCAMS YOU KIDS TRY WE WAS DOING 20 YEARS AGO
