If he was rhifieng around the shops it would be harder. We can call him as; 'OFFICAL SHOPAHOLIC FOR HIS OWN BENEFIT.' Is he unemployed?

Were kidnappers also unemployed? I wonder if this was victims idea. Very similar stories can be find in USA very often. Sure if it is true cops had done a great job. After all for kidnappers 'Catch me if you can' didn't work this time. You don't have to have a criminal mind to track this one down, mobile phone is not just for call users but a good trap for crims. Every cop should learnt about this. This kidnappers are very stupid.

Roberries are on the rise as I had said few days back. But wait; 'THERE IS MORE AND MORE TO COME.' NOW COPS REALY HAVE TO DO THEIR JOB, AND HOPE THEY ARE USING REAL WEAPONS NOT JUST TOY GUNS. Three unemployed devils are working hard hope that judge will take this into consideration when sentencing them. Yes unemployed are hanging themselves due to the economy.

Here we are again. The same convenience store was robbed before and security was not upgraded. This student, took a chance to protect employers assets, and he was lucky that he is till alive. He should get a good reward for his risk. Good job mate but don't be such hero next time it could cost you your life. Therefore again the robber is unemployed.

It is possible what he said; ...“I didn’t know I hit anybody.” We have to consider that truck is not the same as passengers vehicle. If he was drunks or on drugs than charge can be solid as gold. I doubt that he did hear anything while hit the victim. Trucks are very noisy when on the roads. This we could compare like Elephant on the go or RUSSIAN TANK.

He lost his plot. 25 to life is better sentence than it would be in Japan? And mind you prisons are better than in Japan. For what he done to this girl he should fry instead.

If he proposed to her, why should he stalk her? I don't believe this woman at all she is just using this excuse to cover her own back. He is 40 and she is 48. What an idiot he should find a girl at least 30 or 35 even 40. He must like older women.

Snatchers must be aware that money was again like self service in the street. People never learn how to look after the money. 'I WOULD SAY THAT THIS IS AN INSIDE JOB.' Is this money covered by insurance???

He was angry and tried to knock them out both. What an idiot and looser. Who gave him the keys to enter premises? Is he 'Houdini' the magician or related to ‘locksmith?’

Lucky guy, that he wasn't thrown out from the train. Will this celebrity get suspended sentence? Is this mask the same that robbers are using them at night?

This bastard should pick up someone in his age. Store owners should have a gun under the counter, and use it when is required. How such people can protect themselves from robberies’? Again it is an invitation for 'scumbags' to take an advantage for their own benefit. Perhaps this robber was also unemployed and need money for drugs and booze.

If he did this to me he would be six feet under. This ex-cop is an absolute idiot, and now he is in unemployment club. He had a good secure job for the rest of his life and a female twist in his head mixed his marbles to use his 'gun' on friend’s wife. He must be using cheap materials to make his own key. What a bloody idiot he is. Is this wife of his colleague a princess? I wouldn't mind to her. Bad luck 'ROMEO,' try again.

This guy needs a very ugly female shrink with little dirty underwear on her desk, perhaps he will give up his hobby. I remember JT published last year stories like this one. Is he new guy to the game? When you think of it he should go with 1,600 items 'every weekend to 'flee market' and he could make few yen for his meals. I wonder what his favored color is. Were 1,600 items assorted colors?

Good on you members of the 'Staff.' Now you are ready to join police force, they need people like you, so that they can get rid of all uniformed dreamers. Here is another example of unemployed robbing for his bread. I told you yesterday that such crime will grow now daily. How long it took cops to arrive on the scene?

Wasn't this story poublished last year or is that new one. What a mother is that? She should ne placed into 'mental institution' to reverse her marbles, if she had any left in the wrong position. 'IS JAPAN IMPROVING SEXISM OR ARE SUCH PEOPLE HELPING TO IMPROVE STRAGLING ECONOMY?'

Next time he should grab a small bowl of soup, drink it quick, and evidence will be washed out.

Another unemployed and take my word this is only beginning of 2009. If he stole from me 'rice ball' I wouldn't call police but will give him some other food, and than will kick him out from store. Why bother calling police when person hasn't got a job and money? I'm sure that next time he will walk instead of taking train.

If it took four month to catch the robber how long will take to this 'scumbag?' AICHI should be proud to have name on the Japanese map. Don't tell me that this driver didn't see this poor woman. If he went through red light perhaps he was heading towards a red light building for his satisfaction. Why Japan has so bad drivers? Hope that 'surveillance cameras' were working for quick arrest. It looks that you are not safe to walk on streets in Japan at night. If you take taxi someone could rob you and taxi driver. In my view this driver was drunk or on drugs.
