    The police should pin down the manager - maybe he'll squeal.

    This is probably a copy cat crime, sometimes happens when media reports one type of incident.

    Anyone have any idea why there's so much product-tampering in Japan?

    They'll have to hammer out this one to nail the culprit.

    A lot of the local mass produced stuff doesn't taste much better than nails (in fish sauce).
