About 15 shoppers walked through the front doors of a closed Dollar Tree store after a lock on the doors malfunctioned.
They also didn't see, or ignored, a sign on the doors indicating the store was closed for the holiday.
But the lights in the store were all on; plus, there was music playing in the background, all making it
seem like it was business as usual.
Northglenn Police spokesman Ian Lopez says one woman became suspicious when there was no one at the register to ring up her purchase, so she called authorities.
The cash registers were reportedly open and empty, but Lopez says it appears nothing was stolen.
Police were able to contact a manager, who fixed the lock and closed the store.
Lopez says the incident showed that people can be "honest and good."
