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 ( eeek:) 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.

I came to in the small hours to hear the printer in my office grinding away.
I came downstairs to find the THW printing geology coursework that she had to hand in this morning. I have spent the last 10 days whilst they have been on half term asking "Have you any homework?" and being told "No". She has a printer in her room but mine is apparently "better". The one in her room was mine but she complained so much about the one she had I swapped them over, pointing out that a poor workman always blames his tools. Closer investigation this morning (after she left for school) reveals that the printer in her room has run out of black ink. There are six new cartridges on the shelf. Banghead

Charles Dickens used to edit a magazine. The writer Elizabeth Gaskell was always late with her copy.
He once said, "If I were Mr Gaskell I would beat her."
Sound advice!!
