Tenant Finds Two-Way Mirror In Shower

Mirrors Visible From Maintenance Closet

Tenants in a Montrose apartment complex say they were shocked when they discovered a two-way mirror in their shower.

Jim Waters told the Montrose Daily Press it was strange to see a mirror in the shower of his basement unit at 1001 N. First St. "Our assumption was maybe it was a shaving mirror," Waters told the Press.

When Waters investigated, he found it was in fact a two-way mirror with a perfect view of the shower from a maintenance closet.

The closet exits directly to the outside and had a combination lock on the door.

"You can see everything from the top of the spigot to where the bathtub nozzle is. You can definitely see everything in the shower there," Waters told the Press. "It was just a viewing window into the shower."

Waters, who lives with two female roommates, said he contacted police who are investigating.

The three deiced to move out. On moving day, one of the female tenants said they noticed one of the mirrors in her bedroom looked darker than the others.

"She was like, 'no way,' but, sure enough," Waters told the Press. Waters said he found a 6-inch hole in the drywall behind the mirror. It provided a clear view of the bed.

Waters said he contacted the police again. The officer told him there isn't much they can do because they didn't catch anyone peeking through the mirror.

All three tenants received full refunds from the property manager and have moved to a different residence.
