bring it back to the store and call them tools and make them take it off. Don't forget a receipt or else they will think your the worst thief ever. how is it on though btw? can you get a picture?

btw, how did you get it out of the store?

the scensor things never go off, i worked at a pacsun all summer would froget i had sensors in my pocket, nothing would happen.

just use wire cutters to cut the little metal thing if you dont want to go back

Why would they waste one of those on a pair of athletic shorts? I've only seen them on jeans and other expensive clothes.

I'm almost positive that isn't ink. I know for a fact the long front part isn't ink, and the picture of the back part isn't very clear.

Does it say it contains ink anywhere on the sensor? They usually do.

The key to getting those off is applying pressure at 2 or 3 key areas to release the lock and simply pulling it off. Usually if you wiggle it enough then it will come off.

well turns out it is an ink kind. also it does leak ink if i tamper with it and trying to cut it with a wire cutter does count as tampering. so basically i tried to cut it and the ink canister broke but i kept that part down so no ink got on the shorts so all is good.

for further reference in the top pictures, on the right side of it, there is a little hole opening

you have to take a curved pieve of metal that can fit into it, like a hair pin or somthing a little stronger and press it into it. fiddle around with it and it should unlock it
