Apparently, a homeless woman was arrested in Japan today after living undetected in a man's closet for the last year. She was caught after he became suspicious that food was disappearing, and set up comeras to relay images to his mobile phone.
Police found the 58-year-old woman 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.
The resident of the home installed security cameras that transmitted images to his mobile phone and one of the cameras captured someone moving inside his home after he had left. He called police believing it was a burglar, but when they arrived they found the door locked and all windows closed.
"We searched the house ... checking everywhere someone could possibly hide," Itakura said. "When we slid open the shelf closet, there she was, nervously curled up on her side."
The woman told police she had no place to live and first sneaked into the man's house about a year ago when he left it unlocked.
She had moved a mattress into the small closet space and even took showers, Itakura said, calling the woman "neat and clean."
This raises two important issues.
First, someone else was living in his house and he didn't notice? I think I'd notice. Wouldn't you?

Right on point 1 & 2 - who has cupboard space??? You wait, there will be more to this story.
I read a news piece about a stalker who had made a man sized cavity under the bathroom floor of a womans house with a spy hole as well so he could watch her.He apparently had been living there for 18 months,till little noises began to worry her and she investigated.He was charged with several things relating to stalking.
