Clothing security tag help.

[Demon-Xanth]

I recently placed an order for some pants from a major chain online, there isn't one of those stores nearby me. The order came in, and as I was pulling the tags off, I noticed that they left one of the security tags on. (only on one pair)

Anyone know how to get it off?

It's a 1x3" long grey plastic piece with the word "Combo" in cursive on it with one of those symbols that you see magnetic tag systems on it (the hand w/ cross hairs).

I'm not excessively worried about ink because it's a black pair of pants. I've seen them removed at stores with just a little plastic piece, but I've never paid much attention.

Try some wire cutters, just cut the metal bar holding it on.

be careful it's not the exploding dye pack type of security tag...

Got it off w/ a coping saw blade and a screw driver.

i once had to bust open a bestbuy Playstation 2 game from its safety mechanism thing once. It was for my brother for christmas, and when my dad went through the checkout, the guy just forgot to take it off!! Damn that thing is strong, it took a hammer, and a screwdriver about 2 hours to finally get to the game itself. Then of course when my bro tryed to play it, it didnt work so we took it back and exchanged it.
