Accompanied by two German shepherds, the homeowner asked Chapek what he was doing in the house.

"Taking a shower. Duh."

In one respect it's too bad he's alive.
Otherwise he'd make a good Darwin Award candidate.

The police show up, shoot the dogs, tackle and handcuff the homeowner while the burglar stands there and says “that’s him! that’s him! he might have a GUN!”

In Portland...that's not outside the realm of possibility.

Interesting that CNN leaves out the rest of the story. From a Portland TV station:

He [Chapek] was taken to the Multnomah County Jail on suspicion of criminal trespassing and was released on his own recognizance. Police said Chapek has an extensive criminal history.

Intruder calls 911 when owner comes home, police say

So this guy is free to walk the streets and do it again. It is time for homeowners to be prepared to take action when the "authorities" won't.
