Since when do burglars break into houses to take showers? The idiot contractors should have known better, and so should the cops.

"...Since when do burglars break into houses to take showers?..."

It didn't say he was taking a shower, or that he was naked and wet, just that he was crouched down, hiding in the shower. The same "idiot" contractors could have just as easily foiled a burglary with a timely phone call if the circumstances had been different. Nevertheless, in general you are correct about this being a general mess up, but it hardly rises to the level of state despotism.
