Thread: Electronic theft device went off on me today

  1. #1

    Electronic theft device went off on me today

    In like 3 Stores! I've never stolen in my life. It's awkward
    to say the least, yet I cannot find anything on me that may
    set it off. Any ideas?

    I thought it was the pair of pants I was wearing but they
    had no tags on them, and they were paid for.

  4. If you're not black it doesn't really matter, does it?

  5. This happens to me all the time. CDs, games, software, dvds, books, anything that may have been tagged might not have been properly demagnetized.

    Christmas was ridiculous, people at stores didn't even blink when the alarm went off, it was just like yeah whatever. I had a CD demagnetized at 3 different stores, it didn't stop setting off alarms until the 3rd one.

    Yet it went off when I entered the store and the Kraft Mac
    and Cheese shouldn't have set if off as that was all I had
    purchased.

    Lots of things can set them off. Many manufacturers put them in all their items, and not all stores use them so often products are sold without being demagnatized. At work, we have this problem often with shoes and purses having an EAS tag in them.

    Also, magnetic fields and electronic devices can set them off. The biggest offenders seem to be magnetic name badges and cell phones.

    Would a magnetic personality set it off? Nah I figured it
    must be something on me, yet it never has been a problem
    before. Still I don't want to have to have a clerk come
    running after me asking to check my bags when I buy some
    pasta.
