[Emma09]

I've been told that u can put it in the freezer, to freeze the ink- then smash it with a hammer

My brother used to own a clothing shop and as you can imagine I spent hours in there trying on every item of clothing that I even 'thought' might look ok lol anyway the point is that when he sold the shop there was heaps of left over stock and one item still has that darn security thingo on it 5 years later yes I've tried EVERYTHING to get it off. You'd think that by now I'd find another shop owners and ask if I can use their thingamajiggy to get it off but I haven't bothered. I guess one day I will. SO I think you'll need to return to the shop with your receipt to get it taken off

Hacksaw through the metal pin if you can move the fabric out of the way enough.

I had one years ago leak yellow dye onto my new bra, but we got it off. I think we used a hammer, I was only about 17 & tbh there's every chance that one wasn't paid for
Back when we bought stuff from Rivers though, they didn't take one off DH's shoe I think. We took it back straight away, then got home & realised his pants had one too Had to get MIL to take them back coz we lived 2 hours away. They look alot stronger these days, lol.

Your best bet is to ring up the store and explain your situation. If you are open and honest you shouldn't require your reciept to get the tag removed.

I had same happen a few years ago bought a heap of kids clothes in target clearence sale in diff sizes etc and when DS1 was big enough to wear I went to wardrobe and discovered 4 sets had tag things on them, these were the red things, DH used pliers to remove.

dont they just use a strong magnet to get them off in the shop, or would that be too easy ???
