An anti-theft tag that uses single or dual detacher arms. A first detacher arm moves a locking arm aside such that a release arm can rotate to separate the arms of a C-clip that secures the pin on the securing member. Either the first detacher arm, or an alternative second detacher arm then presses the release arm to rotate it. When the release arm is rotated, a wedge on the release arm exerts pressure against the arms of the C-clip to force them apart which causes the securing member pin to be released. The securing member pin cannot be released by the anti-theft tag unless the detacher arms are inserted in sequence. An alternative anti-theft tag provides spring loaded door button at the entrance to the detacher arm chamber. The door button guides an unauthorized tag pick away from the entrance to the detacher arm chamber and routes it toward a dead-end. The detacher arm will press a spring loaded door button to an open position and allow access of the detacher arm into the detacher arm chamber.

A dual use anti-theft tag is provided which has a structure that can be used as a reusable anti-theft tag, or as a single use recyclable anti-theft tag. The anti-theft tag uses a conventional ball bearing lock which can be opened by a mechanical probe, or opened magnetically. In a first configuration, the anti-theft tag uses a reusable locking mechanism. In this configuration, the lock can be repeatedly moved from a locked to an unlocked position. In a recyclable configuration, an optional spring lock keeps the anti-theft tag in the unlocked position once opened. An advantage of the invention is that the same anti-theft tag structure can be used for both embodiments.

The permanent staining substance is of the type that changes the composition of the article, such as bleach, rather than a dye. The ampules are supported in a base component with holes that allow the staining substance to escape if the ampules are fractured. A cover component with a break away element covers the base component. Permanently attached to the break away element is an elongated pin type connecting unit that is used to attach the tag to the article being protected, and locked into place by a locking mechanism. When an unauthorized removal of the tag is attempted, the break away element fractures the ampules and also exposes the outside of the cover component to the staining substance.
