Very interesting... Coincidentally, I recently read a story about a toilet that was stolen from the local koban and the police have nothing to go on. Very scary indeed.

"Toire no mondai hasenyen" as the advert's jingle goes ...... seems more fitting to say that a problem with your toilet can cost your life !

My guess is the plumber gave him the bill in person, a bad move these days!
