TOKYO (AFP) - A Japanese man puzzled by food mysteriously disappearing from his refrigerator got a shock when he found out a woman had been living in his home for months without permission, police said Friday.
The 57-year-old man living 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. http://uk.news.yahoo.com/afp/2008053...t-c359f57.html |

I don't understand how she managed that without breaking her back or something. It's not like she slept in a walk-in big wardrobe.

actually jokes aside. it IS a good idea for a screenplay. Like the short ones by Pinter about self alienation such as "The Caretaker" or "No Man's land". That would go well with some Dream Aktion Unit.

Pinter also has plays in here very often. Let's call him or Tom Stoppard and see what they think about it. Nef - Have a look through your wardrobe for your best dress to wear at the audition. |

This is one of my favourite plays. Whichever production of it I've seen has always been of high quality. |

witty author. singular. like a more accessible Beckett really, that's why he's so popular. He has made dark, obscure themes more accessible. anyways.

How do we know she wasn't imprisoned there against her own will, eh? you obviously have NO IDEA what its like living out a cupboard for a year and them getting guilt tripped for it. NONE of you understand, k?

In Japan, how do you know for sure what qualifies as a closet?
In theory, that could be "the East wing" of the domicile in many cases. |

Honestly, though, I've heard bizarre things coming from students sharing overcrowded houses too. One of them was this bloke who was sleeping under someone's kitchen table because he had nowhere to live and someone was putting him up for a while. |
