TOKYO - A homeless woman who sneaked into a man's house and lived undetected in his closet for a year was arrested in Japan after he became suspicious when food mysteriously began disappearing.
Police found the 58-year-old woman Thursday hiding in the top compartment of the man's closet and arrested her for trespassing, police spokesman Hiroki Itakura from southern Kasuya town said Friday. The resident of the home installed security cameras that transmitted images to his mobile phone after becoming puzzled by food disappearing from his kitchen over the past several months.
One of the cameras captured someone moving inside his home Thursday after he had left, and he called police believing it was a burglar. However, when they arrived they found the door locked and all windows closed.
"We searched the house ... checking everywhere someone could possibly hide," Itakura said. "When we slid open the shelf closet, there she was, nervously curled up on her side."
The woman told police she had no place to live and first sneaked into the man's house about a year ago when he left it unlocked.
She had moved a mattress into the small closet space and even took showers, Itakura said, calling the woman "neat and clean."

So, I'm guessing the dude who lives there NEVER went into his closet for a year.

Wow.

Homeless ninjas DO exist.

It reminds me of that story where the guy kept his daughter locked in the basement for years while he raped her and she had a few of his kids, but apparently the wife didn't know about it. How the **** can you not know about that?

The solution to eradicate homelessness has been discovered but everyone is going to overlook it.

Josef Fritzel?

Yeah. Kept her in the basement for 24 years, had 7 kids, and his wife claims to not have known about it.

the homeless are getting smarter , we need to do something before this gets out of control .

This is awesome. If I found a homeless Chinese lady in my closet, I'd welcome it with open arms.
Then ask for all the money she's cost me.

There was a homeless guy living in the janitor closet of my dorm for a few months one year. Nobody noticed for a while.

[tzarinna]

Typical man...to not pay attention to the woman he lives with....I mean really.

That's what I'm like, they always holed up in some tiny space and ****. I see a random asian chick inside my cupboard, I'm the first one out the house. Unless she looks like Grace Park, then I'm tapping it.

me and my friend laughed for about half an hour after reading this

 

[Spidey-Bat]

Would have sucked if he had his house fumigated.
