    I had the same thing happen at Big W! They were really understanding, and took it off without any questions (even without a receipt).

    A couple of years ago I bought the most beautiful dress from Review at a Myer store. It was the type that had a full skirt. I wore it to a wedding and when sitting down realised I was sitting on something- it was the security tab! I still had to search through the folds and pleats to find what it was I was sitting on. My friends found it hilarious. I took my dress back the next day. I didnt have my reciept but they believed my story. The girl removed the tab and I took it home.

    You might not need the receipt..I had a few items I bought for DD that I had to take back to Target the next day, was cutting all the price tags off them to put in the wash and found some of them still had security tags on them. I just said I'd bought them the day before and the tags hadn't been taken off and they were happy to do it for me, didn't ask for a receipt or anything.
    If you're worried about not having the receipt for it maybe fib a little and say it was a gift?

    Ahh how frustrating Ive had it happen a couple of times..
    Last time it happened to me I went in search of DH's tool box and used a set of his plyers to sort of cut the pin a bit and then I was able to snap it off! Good luck

    Thanks everyone! I think I'll wait till after Christmas and take it back to the store (can't find the receipt). I figure that how many people who steal things are stupid enough to take it back to the store, so therefore I must not have stolen it. Bummer that i can't wear it though.

    Maybe take a statement on from you bank or credit card to show you did purchase it

    happened to me with an outfit I bought from Colordado that I was planning to wear that night... rang the store and they remembered me and the lady actually dropped past my house on her way home from work to remove it Talk about awesome customer service
