Clean Getaway Fail: Florida Man Busted for Showering in Someone Else’s Home
Just when he thought he would make a clean getaway, a Florida burglar found out you can never really wash off the stink of crime. According to FOX13, it was 5:30 in the morning in the beach town of Destin. A woman woke up to the sound of someone busting into her house. Not through the window, not through the backdoor, but right through the bedroom door.
So, what did she do? She hides in the bathroom and calls the police. Which is the smart thing to do for sure. Hide out, and wait for the cavalry to arrive.
And they were coming, the cops from Okaloosa County were on their way, sirens blazing and all. When they finally burst into the house, guess what they find? They found 27-year-old Harrison Lee, not ransacking the place, not looking for valuables, but taking a damn shower in the master bathroom! Dude’s just chilling in the shower. Here’s a criminal attempting a literal clean getaway. Just enjoying himself like he’s at the spa or something.
Clean Getaway Thwarted:

I can only imagine the homeowner’s face. One second you’re hiding in one bathroom, scared out of your mind, and the next thing you see is the intruder lathering up in another. That’s some hilariously disturbing stuff. .
So the deputies cuff this guy, who, by the way, is only wearing a towel at this point, and march him out. Now, Lee’s not just in trouble for breaking in, he’s also hit with criminal mischief. The only good news? He smelled great and no one got hurt. Just a dude who thought he’d break in and freshen up a bit.
Moral of the story? Don’t do the crime. You’ll never make a full clean getaway. You see, dirt always has a way of finding you, and the law is always there to clean it up.
