Japanese man discovers woman living in his closet

May 30, 2008

TOKYO (Reuters) - A Japanese man who was mystified when food kept disappearing from his kitchen, set up a hidden camera and found an unknown woman living secretly in his closet, Japanese media said on Friday.

The 57-year-old unemployed man of Fukuoka in southern Japan called police on Wednesday when the camera sent pictures to his mobile phone of an intruder in his home while he was out on Wednesday, the Asahi newspaper said on its Website.

Officers rushed to the house and found a 58-year-old unemployed woman hiding in an unused closet, where she had secreted a mattress and plastic drink bottles, the Asahi said. Police suspect she may have been there for several months, the paper said.

"I didn't have anywhere to live," the Nikkan Sports tabloid quoted the woman as telling police.

Local police confirmed that they had arrested a woman for trespassing, but would not comment further on the case.

what a welcome change....it's usually me that's hiding in womens closets and spying on them....(insert drag joke here you oportunistic bastards)

:lol:
Wow...she was living in his closet?
How the heck could he NOT tell???
And for that matter how big was this closet?!
Aren't most homes over in Japan absoultely tiny?

Must've been a tiny lil woman.
:lol:

an unused closet.

No duh Jeff....I read that part.

The fact remains...you'd hear scuffling or some breathing if someone was in the closet....
drr....

:lol:

not if it was in a room you didn't go into.........

....The article doesn't say unused room Jeff.

It would've made more sense to say Unused room rather than unused closet.....

.....So the unused closet could be down the hall.

Unless he lived in a mansion.....but he doesn't....

psst, you know I can argue this till the cows come home...:wink:

Maybe the "57-year-old unemployed man of Fuk-u-oka" was somewhat hard of hearing. Believe it or not, that actually does happen to some people.

BTW, I think the cows just came home.

I would assume she went to the bathroom in the bathroom, when the guy was gone,
thats when she ate his food.
