I know apartments are smaller in Japan, but this is a bit ridiculous. Apparently some crazy homeless lady had moved herself into a man’s closet without his knowledge. She would stay hidden inside while he was home, and when he left for work she would come out and use the washroom and raid his fridge.

The news story said she was clean, but I bet there was the odd time she had to lay a dump in the closet while the guy was home.

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.
