How do I remove a dealer decal?

When I went to pick my car up Monday night they forgot to remove the plastic/metallic rear decal on the back of my car.



I don't want to have to drive back to have them remove it unless I have to. Are there any tricks to removing it myself without damaging the paint? What is the best to do it? It is not bolted on, it is just glued on. Should I just get a hairdryer and work on it with some fishing line?

ya got the idea.
hairdryer and dental floss is the best bet (floss is softer than fishing line... don't know what that would do to the paint)

yeah, heat it up slightly and just peel it off... you'll need some Goo Gone or something similiar to remove the adhesive...
