Japanese Woman Squatting in Closet

A 58-year old Japanese woman was found squatting in a 57-year old Japanese man's closet.

After food began disappearing from his refrigerator, the man installed a surveillance camera in his home. He took the tape to police when he discovered it showed an unknown woman hanging-about his place in his absence.

The police searched his residence and found the woman in a closet. The closet was just big enough to fit the mattress she had brought with her. Police do not know how she got into the residence undetected, but believe she has been living there, off and on, about a year. They currently think the woman has been "closet-surfing" - living in different peoples' closets for short periods of time - for a while now.
