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.

Grammar question... What is the difference between 'was caught' and 'got caught'?

There is no difference between the meaning - they both mean the same thing (although I think 'was caught' makes a little more sense than 'got caught.') The only real difference is the limiting of subjects.Like, for 'was caught,' the subject is limited to I was caught and he/she was caught. If you wanted to use you, they, or we, it would be were caught.But for 'got caught,' anyone can get caught. I got caught, you got caught, we got caught, they got caught, and she/he got caught all makes sense and is grammatically correct.
