TOKYO - A homeless woman who sneaked into a man's house and lived undetected in his closet for a year was arrested in Japan after he became suspicious when food mysteriously began disappearing.

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.

Full Story...

At least she'll have a larger place to live now. A jail cell has to be roomier than a closet..even in Japan.

I'd be freaked if I found out someone was living in my house for a year and I had no idea

ummm remind me to never leave my door unlocked

But in all seriousness that is crazy!! How did she pull that off for a year? She would have had to not move or make any tiny sound while that guy was home. And how could this guy not tell someone was in there... if she was taking showers and stuff while living there.

*I* would know. Seriously, don't you think you'd know? How oblivious must you be to not detect anything amiss?

It seems impossible eh? I wonder how often that guy was home

great story

Lmao they have those tiny capsule hotel rooms in Japan the closet was probably about the same size as one of them

How could you go for a year without noticing that??

Remind me to start checking my wardrobes

a year!

It would be fine if she was 25 but at 58 no thanks.

Pervet.

They should arrest the guy for not knowing a woman was living in his closet for a year.

that is freaky. Really really freaky. I think that guy will be kinda wondering how she managed to pull it off and him not even detecting it.

Even though she was trespasing, it takes a pretty dedicated effort to stay in there for a year, let no one know where you are and be alone. And avoid him. Freaky freaky
