TOKYO (AFP) - A Japanese man puzzled by food mysteriously disappearing from his refrigerator got a shock when he found out a woman had been living in his home for months without permission, police said Friday.
The 57-year-old man living alone -- or so he thought -- in the western city of Fukuoka installed a security camera and called the police when he saw images of someone walking around his home while he was out.
"We searched the house in the man's presence. We found the woman in the closet," said a local police spokesman.
The woman, named as 58-year-old Tatsuko Horikawa, was found in a flat storage space only just big enough for a person to squeeze into lying down.
She had sneaked a mattress and several plastic bottles into the cubby hole, police said, adding that the women had been arrested.
"She told police that she had nowhere to live," the spokesman said. "She seems to have lived there for about a year, but not all the time."
It is unclear how she managed to enter the home undetected. Police suspect she might have been closet-hopping, moving from house to house.

She should have introduced herself, I bet she was a foxy lady.

On a more sinister note, Japanese guy living alone OR SO HE THINKS, things going missing, furniture moving around. Creepy cctv footage. I smell a horror film.

Pretty easy to do in a society that does not lock doors. Next time she should scout out a house with two men living there. They would end up accusing each other of raiding the 'fridge.

There are unanswered questions about sanitation that are just screaming from this story. Shocked

Edited because scream doesn't have two Es in it. Embarassed

When I saw the title of this thread, I thought for sure it was about jojobean or the professor, or maybe that crazy squirrel SOOI.

I thought it was about you, Harry. We all know how much you like Shampoo bottles.

Harry, I urge you to edit your post. You must say "I thought for sure "the thread" was about"

You might hurt the threads feelings.

Harry, we all know you would be well aware if any one us came strolling out of the closet. You've been perched at the entrance with a bucket of hope and a barrel of popcorn for years with that weird look in your eyes, straining your ears to listen for ANY sign of movement.

I just hope it's not like the horror movies. It's usually a cat making that noise in there. Shocked

Reminds me of a friend of mine who moved house and kept hearing loud noises in the loft. Upon investigation she found a family living up there. They had moved into the loft of the house next door and while her home was empty had channeled through - seriously

Reminds me of the Fawlty Tower Episode Kipper and the Corpse

They quickly rush Miss Tibbs and Mr Leeman into the nearest room but unfortunately the guests want in the room to collect their things. Polly has to stall them whilst Basil and Manuel hide the body and Miss Tibbs in the cupboard in the guests’ room. They let the guests in but soon moans can be heard coming from the cupboard as Miss Tibbs comes round from her slap. The guests demand they open the cupboard, Basil pretends he doesn’t have the key but Manuel insists he has it in his pocket!
They eventually let Miss Tibbs out and Basil warns her not to hide in guests cupboards claiming she does it all the time.
