LONGMONT, Colo. - Nice try.

Authorities in Colorado say a man claiming to be a police detective asked an adult novelty shop to give him free X-rated videos, saying he wanted to make sure the performers weren't underage. The man, who is on the run and has not yet been identified, attempted to get the videos on three separate occasions over a nine-day period last month.

He was turned down each time and the store manager called police after the third try.

Authorities said Monday that the man showed a badge and left a business card from the Longmont, Colo.. police "age verification unit."

Longmont police Cmdr. Tim Lewis says there is no such unit.

The business card didn't have anyone's name on it, but the store gave officers surveillance video of the man.
