In a strange incident, a thief broke into the couple's California home and took a shower instead of stealing the house's belongings.
Yes, this actually happened on the 3rd of June this year, when Steve Bauer's wife woke up around 11pm after hearing the sound of water.
When she and her husband checked for the sound, they found broken glass at the front door.
The husband grabbed his gun and decided to follow the source of the sound to see what was going on.
When he got there, he was surprised to find an intruder on his staircase - wearing nothing but a towel, and had just taken a shower.
Steve held the stranger at gunpoint to make sure he didn't try to escape.
When the police arrived at the house, Steve was still holding the 25-year-old at gunpoint.
The intruder was arrested from the scene and charged with burglary.
According to the police, the thief known as Thiago Carola Freitas broke into the house by breaking the front door window using a ceramic figurine of a rabbit.
Freitas is booked into prison on suspicion of burglary, and he is in custody and has a $60,000 bail requirement.
