NORTHGLENN, Colo. (AP) - They could have left the tree completely bare. But some honest shoppers at an unstaffed Dollar Tree store must have decided that honesty was the best policy while searching for bargains on Labor Day.

About 15 shoppers walked through the front doors of a closed Dollar Tree store Monday 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.

For one: the lights in the store were all on, plus, there was music playing in the background, all making it look 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."

Good thing it wasn't a liqueur store.

Nah. Sounds to me like it resembled a radio station...

Liqueur store? Sounds as though you frequent some upscale places, there, fanofbigmedia! Many broadcasters with whom I'm familiar are more likely to patronize liquor stores. Of course, most are better acquainted with "Thunderbird," "Mad Dog 20/20," "Boone's Farm" and/or cheap beer!
