They were inside the Democratic offices in the Watergate building looking for information and to bug the phones to help Richard Nixon in his political campaign for his second term. A small piece of masking tape is what gave them away. They had put the masking tape on the door jam to keep the doors from locking as they entered the office. A security guard found the tape and found them in the office. At first, it didn't lead back to the president, but because of a man who knew the truth called up reporters and gave them info that would finally lead to the president, audio tapes of him giving instructions to the men who broke into the offices, and finally his resignation as president.

Who tipped off the FBI about Watergate?
It wasn't so much that the FBI was "tipped" off about Watergate, but how far it went up the chain of command. When the group broke into the building and the offices of the Democratic headquarters they got caught by just a bit of making tape and a guard who found it. So, the FBI was involved right from the start. The question was who ordered the break in or were the men invloved loners. No one believed they were doing this on their own, but they needed to prove it went as high as Nixon. That is where "deep throat" comes in. Deep throat met with the reporters off and on passing info that would lead them to Nixon.
