It was said, Richard Nixon had a recording system in his office which recorded conversations that went on and he had tried to cover up the recordings but got caught later on and had to give the recordings up to the court system.

A security guard working at the Watergate complex noticed tape on a couple of the locks and not thinking of it he took off the tape and a couple hours later the tape was reapplied.
