Answer 1

the only way i would say is possible,is that somehow they've managed to get hold of a tool that removes them.i bought a hat for my son a few weeks back,but the assistant had left a magnetic security tag on it,there was no way i could get it off,i had to take it back and ask them to remove it.

Answer 2
