Where can I borrow a strong magnet

Does anyone know where on campus I can access a neodymium magnet rated at 10,000-12,000 gauss? I need to borrow it for literally 5 seconds to remove a security tag from one of my clothes. (I have the receipt I didn’t steal it.)

Bruh just take it back to the store and have them take it off for you…almost any store would do it tbh the target on Westwood does it

Go befriend some physics grad students

Go ask any store employee; a receipt should pacify their concerns
