Woman Found Living In A Closet

A Japanese woman was caught hiding in a stranger's closet for over a year in Tokyo. The woman, who claimed to be homeless and strayed into his house when he had left it unlocked and was left undetected for such a long period.

The owner of the house started to get suspicious when he discovered that food was disappearing from his kitchen on a regular basis. As the food continually started to vanish, he took a step forward in stopping it by installing security cameras in his house.

The camera had captured the stranger moving about his house. Believing it to be a burglar, the called the police to take control. The police searched every possible place they could and didn't find the woman until they slid open the top of the closet to discover the woman hiding inside.

The woman says she moved in a mattress into the closet and even took regular showers during her 'stay'.
