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.'"

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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
-
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?!-

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.

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.
