Are these sentences natural? October 3

Hi,

Are the following sentences natural to a native ear?

1. I did not have a chance to come back here since then. See, I have just now picked the pants that I gave for alteration then.



2. What happened was the person who sold this stuff removed the tags of this jacket along with those of the suites I purchased.



3. And, when I tried to explain that to this person he threatened to call the security on me.

Thanks,

MG.
