Damn that is just sad.

I might as well live in my best friend's closet for a year to see what he *really* thinks about me when I'm not watching... hahahaha... and check out all the girls he chats with on msn... xD

Better check my closet before going to sleep... maybe Shane West is living in my closet for 5 years. I'm running out of peanut butter way too fast. LOL!

true, her actually living in a closet in secret is really depressing if you think about it

That's kind of sad, actually. Creepy but sad.

I had NO idea this ended up on TV. Yay!
However, I didn't get notified and it hasn't shown on my profile... so if any current.com tech people see this... I would love for it to be added.
Thanks.

Whoa! coolest 58 year old woman ever !
I mean, a whole year undetected !

i doubt she just took food those last weeks, and i bet she was taking showers and watching tv everyday, otherwise, how did she survived a whole year there?

haha "neat and clean"
she deserves to be free!

I love this story! But how could he not notice her for an entire year? She "borrowed" food and the mans shower. Is this guy blind or terminally unobservant? Oh well, at least she was "neat and clean."

I am all for small Japanese people living in my closet. I might put a craigslist ad up and see if I get any hits.

Actually, I heard of people that do that all the time! Just go to youtube and look up phrogging.

Awsome, i guess she was very careful in cleaning up after herself.

What a sad story. :-( The 'neat and tidy' woman just needed somewhere to live. But I wonder how this was perceived in Japan. Maybe me being American makes me more sympathetic, but I really wonder what the perspective of that guy who owned the house was .... he was probably freaked out. And I don't deny that I wouldn't be if I were in that situation. I guess in this case, it's all a matter of perspective.

WoW! This is too funny.

wow, i can't imagine being in his shoes. hopefully I'm more observant and would
realize someone living in my house sooner than he did. how in the world could your first
clue be missing food? couldn't he hear her? If she took showers, wouldn't he have found long
hairs in the shower? wouldn't the water bill have gone up? were and how did she get that
mattress?!

hahaha, the audacity it would require to give that a try! just to sneak into some guys house and live there...what if HE found her? what if he had a girlfriend who came over and found some little woman in his closet?? and how could you deny the fact that you knew someone was LIVING in your apartment? hahaha

"The resident of the home installed security cameras that transmitted images to his mobile phone... "

-Coolest part of this story. How do I do that?!

Talk about low impact green living. Too bad we all can't live which such low impact on our surroundings.

You know it doesn't suprise me. Some peoples closets are the size of apartments, so why not move in to one. All the cloths would probably hide the fact your even there. Can I live in Angelina Jolie's closet?

Can you imagine if someone were to just randomly stumble upon her one day?

It would look like he kept her locked up, or something.

well squilla1123, if you do go hiding anyone's closets, keep AWAY from the scissors!

Sweet!I can think of a few closets I wouldn't mind living in.Sounds like stalker heaven!

A whole year. She should get some sort of stealth medal or something. How about a discount on the charges? She could have done so much damage to him and his wellbeing but thought it best to just stay in the closet like some sort of rodent.

Amazing.

She must have somehow figured out what clothes he never wore and stayed in that section.
Those crazy asians, gonna have to check my closet before I go to bed.

That is so Japanese! Even intruders have enough respect to keep the place clean and tidy. Clearly, the woman just needed food and shelter and didn't steal anything beyond her immediate needs. What a wonderful society!

What is amazing to me is that it took him a whole year to find out. He must not have been home much! She sounds likea much better roommate that I have had in the past...hardly knowing that they were there.

lol, you beat me to the upload :-) this was hysterical

"The Last Ninja" lacked the drama and romance of "The Last Samurai."

this makes me very paranoid. Just kidding, but this has to be the most far out article ive read in a while.

This is the best story I heard this week. This just made my day. At least she was neat and clean, he should hire her as a maid.

That woman has some super ninja skills of non-detection!

Wow. Thats ridiculous. Imagine having someone live in your house and not even knowing it.

That is amazing. I hope he doesn't press charges though.

I wonder if i could do that.

HA!
