This is one of those stories that borders on the unbelievably impossible, or the impossibly unbelievable, whichever you prefer. Either way, when it comes down to brass tacks, the thought of a person living under your roof and eating your food, undetected for an entire year, is pretty darn scary.
A Tokyo man had to install video cameras in his apartment, after he found food to be inexplicably disappearing over the past several months. The security cameras were rigged to send the images to his mobile phone.
This past Thursday, one of the cameras spotted an image moving about in the man’s home. The apartment owner phoned police, believing the image to be that of a burglar. The cops were shocked to find the door locked and all the windows sealed shut. Upon entering the house, the police began searching every nook and cranny, until they stumbled across a 58-year-old homeless woman curled up on a shelf closet.
The unwanted guest told police that she had snuck into the home one day, about a year ago, when the homeowner had inadvertently left the door unlocked. In the year that she was living there, she says she had moved a mattress into the small closet space, taken showers when the man wasn’t home, and helped herself to some food.
The woman was arrested and charged with trespassing.
