Removing a security tag
52 Answers
I bought a pair of shoes today but when I got them home I realised that a tag was still attached to them. I thought that they were supposed to alarm when you leave the shop with them but apparently not!
Anyhow is there some way that I can remove the tag without having to go back to the shop? They were only cheap so don't really merit a journey all of their own!
The tag is one of the type that the assistants put into a mechanism and the back part seperates from the front. Maybe it is some type of magnetic connection?
Thanks.

if you still have the receipt, go back to the shop. I had a top i bought in a sale that they left a security tag in, I couldn't be bothered to take it back to the shop cos it only cost two pounds. The security tag was in the collar seam so iI cut it out, it made a hole of about an inch long which I had to sew. So that wouldn't work with shoes.

Never thought about the lootings when I posted this!!
DT - Who might I be reported to and what would they do??!!
I have the receipt so I wouldn't anticipate that there would be any problems bringing them back. Anyway, it was the shops fault that they didn't remove the tag - not mine.
Buenchico - that isn't the same type of tage but I'll go and have a look on youtube - thanks.

The same thing happened to me at Morrisons a while ago after I had used the self service checkout. I forgot to get the tag removed from a bottle of whisky. The alarm went off as I left but I didn't make the connection and nobody stopped so I just continued home. I was looking forward to a drink so was not a happy bunny when I realised I couldn't open the bottle. I returned to the store, fortunately with the receipt. They were a bit iffy at first. The funny thing was that when I went back into the store with it the alarm didn't sound
