We know where we can find Fiddy—ya know, in da club, bottle full of bub. But cops had a harder time finding his burglar—who was in the rapper's closet sipping on some wine.

Two doofuses are accused of breaking into 50 Cent's enormous Connecticut mansion this morning, apparently to toke up and get drunk, according to local police.

Then they decided to play a little hide-and-seek.

According to a statement from the Farmington P.D., one of the interlopers, Alexander Hernandez, was found "hiding in a closet, drinking a bottle of wine he had stolen from the residence."

The other, Santos Padilla, was collared while seeking shelter in another of the home's 52 rooms. Both men were in possession of pot, police said.

The cops were tipped off by Fiddy's security, which spotted a suspicious car in the driveway of the home—which use to belong to Mike Tyson—around 6 a.m.

The undynamic duo was promptly arrested and locked up on $50,000 bond. As of press time, Hernandez managed to come up with the cash, but Padilla was still in custody.

Fiddy, meanwhile, was not around and has yet to tweet about the break-in.

Maybe Chelsea Handler knows where he is?
