Two burglars had door keys, pass codes and combinations to help them break the safes at an indoor amusement center, but they had to turn to Google for help to steal their loot.

The burglary at Bigg City in Colorado Springs turned into a comedy of errors early June 10. No arrests have been made as of yesterday.

First, the burglars, dressed in black and with their faces covered, tried to disable a security camera by repeatedly spraying it with WD-40, only to have the lubricant clean the lens.

Then, the camera recorded the pair struggling for 75 minutes to open the safes, apparently not realizing how many times and in what directions they needed to turn the dials.

A check of a computer in the office shows a Google search for "how to open a safe" and "how to crack a safe."

The burglars took about $12,000.
