Take it back... and demand a voucher for "ruining your weekends riding". I'd expect at least £20 for that. In the meantime wear your old helmet, borrow one or go without?

@TSY going equiped for stealing is a charge, likewise you can restrict known offenders from being in posession of certain items.
Stop and search is a handy tool too. If somone's acting suspicious you wait, get the evidence as they do it then get a conviction afterwards.Posted 1 year ago # -
Nobody has realised he was allowed to walk out of the store with a security tagged helmet, past the scanner at the door, and it didnt sound or flash lights, so it must have been switched off then
So thats Evans Manchester Chile Factore, with a not working security system.
Red faces and smacked arses tomorrow when management read Singletrack.

just use side cutters on the pin joining the two halves of the tag together.
Or, failing that, take it, with your receipt to your local super market and ask if they use the same system?

Same thing happened to me, a hacksaw through the bubble/buldge that the pin goes into and it dropped off.

:ninja: Ultrasound bath with a flat screwdriver (can use a remote ultrasound too)
2-3 drops Nitric acid on the metal pin, come back 45mins later and it'll pull apart easy
so I've been told...

Mate of mine turned up at my house one day with a new shirt for going out in the evening, turned out to still have the tag on. I took a Dremel to the pin, did the job (with a bit of card between shirt and blade to protect the shirt).

magnet first, and if tht doesnt work, put it a vice and crush it in a controlled manner, rather than smashing it
