A 30-year-old Tokyo woman managed to calm down a knife-wielding thief in her apartment after making him a cup of tea and having a chat. The man then went onto a 20min monologue about his life, before taking the 10,000 Yen the woman offered him (about £47) and running off. He is still being searched for by police.

only in japan you can chat with a thief holding a knife
-
You COULD speak to a thief holding a knife anywhere...whether or not you'd get to the end of the conversation alive is another matter.

That took way more courage than trying to defend herself.
Good story. =) -

Good for her... I reckon it took steady nerves to deal with this situation and I applaud her reserve and who knows.. maybe they made a connection and a relationship will blossom after he gets his act together.

I'd like to have a cup and a chat with this lady too. No knives though.

That is some strong tea. I wonder what was in it? Anyway I wish that more problems could be solved over a nice hot cup of tea.

"Whats the color of the boat house?!?"
"I ambushed you with a cup of coffee.."

Reminds me of that anime, Paranoia Agent. The Japanese are so darned cool.

this should be our foreign policy.

Tea ??? yea, that was it, it couldn't be the sleeping pill or downer she put in the cup when he wasn't looking ...
-
How nice was the tea though? What if she made it badly? Nothing would get me more angry than a rubbish brew!

Wow, I can't imagine anyone being so courteous to such an aggressive stranger. Maybe there will be more strange instances such as this in the near future, people not freaking out and handling all social occasions with such kindness.
