Anti-theft tag on clothing
Short of going back to the store, does anybody know how to safely remove those anti-theft tags from clothing?
I bought a pair of jeans about two weeks ago. It was an instore pick-up at KOHL's. Actually, a replacement for a defective pair purchased several weeks earlier. Decided to wear them today. Removed all the tags and as I began to slip them on, I noticed at the cuff one of those plastic antitheft tags. They never removed it when purchased. Yes, I still happen to have the pick-up receipt and original receipt. I just can't be bothered to make the 10 mile ride back to store for no other reason.

I've never actually looked how one was attached. Can you pull it away a little bit (probably from the inside) to see how it's attached? Maybe use a butter knife to lift it, if not easy by hand.

Okay found two things that hopefully will help. Looks like a bit of work, but only other option is to drive back to the store.

They are usually some type of magnet and/or pressure that releases an internal latch but they use a fixture and are all different.
Road trip time!

Glad you got it removed and no trouble, but you know, most of the time when the alarm goes off, someone just yells from a register "go ahead, you're good".
Kind of like a car alarm in the mall parking lot. A car alarm goes off... most people never look up. If anyone does, they dont even stop walking.
I hear car alarms going off regularly, never see anyone getting their phone to call the police.
So, when I hear a car alarm, like everyone else, I just figure its the owner having trouble. But how does anyone know? No one really seems to care.

I wonder why it didn't go off when you left the store with them? Would've saved a trip back. An odd thing.
