- Defeating Colour Tags (the type Myer use) by Trech/Igloo Eddie
-
- When stealing clothes from your local trendy fashion outlet
- (in our case, a myer store) you have one small problem, yes
- you've guessed it.. Colour Tags. These aren't specifically
- designed to stop people stealing, but as a deterent since if
- you break the tag heapsa permanent ink pours out. Well this
- method doesn't hold true, and here's how to get around it :)
-
- If you've stolen a small article of clothing, say a beanie it's
- (usually) easy to get the tag off. Find a brick wall with a
- post sticking outta it, now smash the colour tag on the side of
- the post (swinging towards the wall) and quickly pull away.
- The colour tag, and ink etc should head towards the wall and
- leave a nice stain there. This method usually leaves a hole
- a bit smaller than a square centimetre. If you can't find a
- wall like that then I reckon you can pretty much figure out
- what to do :)
-
- If you are stealing (or someone else is!) jeans or shirts then
- it's best to play it safe. You'll need two things, a lighter
- (preferable a jet lighter) and a pair of plyers. Now grab the
- piece of clothing and lay it out on your lap (make sure you're
- outside and wearing old clothes since nothing is 100%). Start
- to burn the colour tag slowly (at the hinge) and blow it out
- as soon as it catches aflame. As the colour tag is melted you
- can rip some of the plastic off with the plyers. Stop doing
- this as soon as you can see four little holes, then you should
- be able to tip the four ink rods out. The rods are pretty
- sensetive so you can use them to throw at people, whatever heh.
- Then just rip all the white shit off and cut the pin. This
- is the best way to do it if you're careful, only problem is
- it can get time consuming.
-
- Of course if you're in a hurry and don't really give a shit
- about the clothes you got, put the colour tag on the ground so
- it's sorta like this (when you look at the ground - hey it's
- better than nothing hehe)

- now put a fifty cent piece on top of the pin through the
- clothing. Heave yer foot up, prepare to stomp and SMASH
- stamp as hard as you can on the fifty, then try taking the
- tag off without staining the clothing, this has a failure
- rate of almost 90% but hey.. who's gonna notice a little
- blue ink around the collar :)
