A JAPANESE man puzzled by food mysteriously disappearing from
his refrigerator got a shock when he discovered a woman had been
living in his home for months without permission, police said
today.
The 57-year-old man who lives alone - or so he thought - in the
western city of Fukuoka installed a security camera and called the
police when he saw images of someone walking around his home while
he was out.
"We searched the house in the man's presence. We found the woman
in the closet," said a local police spokesman.
The woman, named as 58-year-old Tatsuko Horikawa, was found in a
flat storage space only just big enough for a person to squeeze
into lying down.
She had sneaked a mattress and several plastic bottles into the
cubby hole, police said, adding that the women had been
arrested.
"She told police that she had nowhere to live," the spokesman
said.
"She seems to have lived there for about a year, but not all the
time."
It is unclear how she managed to enter the home undetected.
Police suspect she might have been closet-hopping, moving from
house to house.
