Police hunt for robbers wearing thongs as masks.
One man wore a green thong and the other wore blue. Each thong barely covered the man’s nose, mouth and chin and left the rest of his face exposed.
Guess these guys didn’t know that classic robber-chic calls for covering up by pulling nylons over the face. Oh, well. Convenience store robbers aren’t known for modesty and good taste. Upside: the thong-on-the-head look may be trashy, but it’s good news for the cops.
UPDATE: They’ve been caught.

OK, now I gotta know. Did these idiots shoplift their lingerie, or did they pilfer their wives’/girlfriends’ undies? If it’s the latter, they may deal out more punishment than the law ever could. The third possibility is too horrible to consider: the thongs were from their own personal lingerie collection…Eeeew!

There’s a thong on my brain and I can’t stop thinging it.

Perhaps the thongs were magically disgorged by the chic pink backpack.

And maybe they were shopping for gigantic bandages to cover up the robber’s distinctive tattoo.

So, what, they were sitting around, swilling beers and watching ESPN, when they decided it was time for more munchies? No need to plan ahead, just grab the wives’ undies and the daughter’s backpack, quickly emptied of Crayola crayons and Dore the Explorer pencils, and you’re good to go.
Hell, it’s just a convenience store…in Arvada.
Brilliant.
