Woman Discovered Living in Man's Closet!

I didn't want to post random news in this blog, but with stories like these I might have to rethink that.

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 Friday.

The 57-year-old unemployed man of Fukuoka in southern Japan called police 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.

How... does this happen? The only way I can think of is that this guy must own a huge mansion. I mean, she was able to fit a mattress into a closet! That and the fact that she wasn't discovered for so long can only mean that it's a large estate. How many closest do y'all own that you don't look into at least once a week? And how high-tech is Japan -- the man had pictures from his surveillance cameras sent to his cell phone! Despite all this, I have to give points to the homeless lady who found a fairly unconventional way to live.
