All wet
Someone broke into a Meserole Street apartment — while the victim was in the shower! — on Jan. 13.
The 29-year-old victim told cops he was inside the apartment, between Bushwick Place and Waterbury Street, at around 7 am. He stepped into the steaming stall and turned on music.
When he stepped out of the shower a half-hour later, he found his front door wide open and realized his laptop had been taken out of his room.
He is now favoring shorter showers.
