Damn SuperGo! I bought some shorts last night to ride in this weekend. I get home and the frig'n
salesman forgot to take off the security tag tinyurl.comr397Open ↗ (see the SuperTag).

Anyway, I called them today because I can't make it back to the store

before

this weekend. They said, "Try smacking it with a hammer," which I did. Dang things are tougher
than they look.

Anybody have any tricks to remove this stupid thing. I already put two small tears in my shorts it
with the hammer :^ ( I started to try the Dremel, but I might as well just ride naked after I get
done with them.

Help... don't let me ride naked!

Just think of it as a tire lever attached to your shorts. (Don't really care to watch you fix that
next flat, however!)

Bill "should cause a cool bruise, too" S.

Here's a suggestion, try living without the shorts until you can get back to the store. Guess they
don't deter shoplifters very well if you got out of the store with them.

Is it the kind with a beige plastic rectangle on one side, and a beige about-half-inch-round plastic
piece on the other? If it is, just pop the circle off the rectangle - pull apart where they connect
with the little piece of metal.

You may need to pry it, or you could cut the metal connector dealie (the part that goes through
the clothes).

It's easy. I've done it lots. Sometimes the circle part will slide about an 1/8" away from the
rectangle part, then go no more. Then you kinda bend the circle towards the square and back again
'til the metal breaks.

Not a shoplifter, for the record.

It could be mistaken for a butt-plug so take care :p

hehehe.... right-on bro! That didn't work, but you gave me an idea. I scored the metal pin with a
Dremel cutting wheel. Then I mounted it in my vice, got the biggest screw driver I had, and gave
it a good smack with

hammer. It popped right off.

Thanks again, and my genitals thank you!

I thought they were usually undone with a magnetic doo-da? Glad you got them off anyhow.

Shaun aRe was gonna suggest a cutting torch.

You know, those words aren't spoken nearly enough. I'm going to tell that to my right hand as soon
as I stop typing. Or maybe I'll let my genitals show their appreciation. Gah, /s

Mmmhmm. You sound a little too experienced at that if you ask me.

I used to work at an outdoor store that "phased out" the tags and got rid of the remover
dealies...without taking the tags off of like 600 pieces on the floor. So, I got pretty good at
circumventing them.

I wish I were a shoplifter. Cool [censored] costs money.
