As you’re all well aware, the world is full of bad people who do bad things on a regular basis. Lucky for us (and for law enforcement,) these bad people also do stupid things on a regular basis, making them easy to find. Here are 7 of these dumb Colorado criminals who will have you shaking your head.

1.) A 68-year-old Denver man was arrested less than 5 hours after robbing a bank.

The man wore a shirt with his name on during the robbery and then used his own car for the getaway.
2.) A 27-year-old male under house arrest decided that not even his court ordered ankle bracelet could keep from burglarizing over a dozen homes around Arapaho County.

He was originally arrested for only one of the crimes, but police were able to tie him to the others because of that pesky GPS monitor.
3.) A 33-year-old Longmont man was arrested for impersonating a cop inside of an adult video store.

The kicker? He was an "age verification detective" who needed to watch copies of the films to make sure the actors were of legal age.
