Three days after the fact, Susan Zahn was still laughing about the burglar who was high on cocaine who broke into her downtown Eugene, Oregon, day spa over the weekend.

The man neither stole nor damaged anything — just snorted cocaine off a table a table in the pedicure room as the “very loud” burglar alarm sounded and police converged outside, Zahn said.

“It’s one of those ‘dumb criminal’ stories,” she said on January 30. “It went from being something very scary, to something we can’t stop laughing about.”

Zahn owns the Pearl Day Spa at 1375 Pearl St.

Her alarm company, ADT, called her at her house early on January 28 to tell her that the audible alarm in the spa was going off. An employee from a business next door had spotted someone crawling around on the steep roof of the building.

When a technician from the alarm company called the business, a man answered the phone and said, “Someone’s trying to steal something.” He then hung up.

Police arrived and it turned out that someone really was inside.

But the man ignored their orders to vacate the premises. He couldn’t have come out even if he’d wanted to, Zahn said — all of the doors are double-keyed, meaning you need a key both to get in and to get out, and he didn’t have one.

Police asked Zahn for permission to break down the door, and a police dog was sent inside to persuade the man to come out.

The burglar, identified as 20-year-old Daniel Caelin McGeough, of Portland, Oregon, was arrested on charges of second-degree burglary, cocaine possession, and criminal mischief. The intruder had squeezed in through a tiny window in an upstairs bathroom, according to Zahn.

“He was just sitting there partying alone, and the alarm’s going off the entire time,” Zahn said. “I don’t even know if he was in there to rob us. He actually answered the phone when the alarm company called.”

It was the second time in five years that someone has entered the spa outside regular business hours.

The first time, a man crawled through a tiny milk door on the ground floor, caused the alarm to sound, and was trapped by the locked doors.

He knocked over the week’s paychecks without stealing anything and crawled back out the milk door.
