Abstract
An anti-theft tag includes a body that carries an EAS sensor, a shrinkable sleeve disposed about the outside of the body, an adhesive material disposed on the body between the body and the sleeve, and a sleeve holder extending from the body. The sleeve holder is constructed and arranged to hold the sleeve on the body such that a portion of the sleeve and the body define an aperture configured to receive an elongate article, such as an arm from a pair of eyeglasses. In use, once the anti-theft tag is disposed on the article, an assembler shrinks the sleeve to secure the anti-theft tag to the arm. In such a configuration, the sleeve and adhesive material holds the body of the anti-theft tag against the arm, thereby limiting the ability for a thief to remove the anti-theft tag from the elongate article by twisting or rotating the anti-theft tag relative to the article.
