We're well aware that Trekkies can be some of the most obsessive fans out there. So it only makes sense that when getting strapped for a stick-up, one would come correct with a three-foot crescent-shaped knife -- basically a replica "Star Trek" prop.

That's exactly what went down early yesterday, when a masked man robbed two 7-11s in Colorado Springs armed with a "bat'leth," which any even middling Trekkie knows is the longsword carried by Klingons. The thief got away with an undisclosed amount of money from the first store, and fled the second without a dime after a clerk went all Captain Kirk on him.

Where one gets such an otherworldly weapon is unclear, but police say the thief was a young white guy wearing a black mask and shirt. Strangely, another bat'leth showed up in Britain in 2006 when it was turned in to police during a "knife amnesty."

If we could find a Klingon booking photo, our search to boldly go where no mug shot has gone before would be officially over. In the meantime, check out our picks for greatest mug shots of all time.

The Greatest Mugshots

    Patrick Tribett, aka, "Goldy." Busted at an Ohio dollar store trying to get more spray paint with intention to huff. We can only hope he was attempting to purchase the color, "Flesh," so he could tidy himself up before going to an art museum or dinner party.

    We have no idea what happened to "Head Brace Man." However, his facial expression makes it look like his arrest was nothing compared to the physical trauma that required his head to be bolted in place.
