TOKYO - A homeless woman who sneaked into a man's house and lived undetected in his closet for a year was arrested in Japan after he became suspicious when food mysteriously began disappearing.
Police found the 58-year-old woman Thursday 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 after becoming puzzled by food disappearing from his kitchen over the past several months.
One of the cameras captured someone moving inside his home Thursday after he had left, and he called police believing it was a burglar. However, 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."
So this lady apparently lived in this dude's closet for close to a year. I'm sure she left every once in a while, but how do you not notice someone living in your closet for a year?
So what's in your closet?
Alternatively, speak of the moment when you first realized dongs were for you.
I think its kind of kawaii to have a little japanese woman obediently cleaning up after herself and staying quiet and living in my attic unbeknownst to me. Like a live in real doll
I would have her sleep on my tatami with me though ^_^
the "and" is there to seperate things, so you technically dont need another comma
I've seen both ways. I was taught item, item, and item ; not item, item and item. When peer reviewing I would red mark instances of the latter, but also had professors mark down my grade for the former. Personally, commas in the written English language are meant to indicate breaks in speech, and every time I HEAR someone say "The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe", they say the lion (break), the witch (break), and the wardrobe. I've never heard someone say the lion (break), the witch and the wardrobe. I would think it would sound rather akward.
Edit: somebody already mentioned the Oxford comma... so I won't mention it again... except start dropping most of your commas in your writing and you will avoid the all but deadly Comma Splice error! The gentlemen who said he used commas to signify breaks in speech would be guilty of this when he tried to join two independent clauses with a break in speech. Not all Comma Splices are errors, but most of them could be seen as too much reliance on punctuation.

check your wetsuit for little homeless ladies.
I bet you she thinks the tub of chalk is cocaine and is selling it on the street.

Surely he'd know about it then, though?
Or it's a pretty specific amnesia.
That would make this whole story make more sense and be more awesome.
But it is already pretty awesome.

That's called the Oxford comma, and it's optional.
your = belonging to you
their = belonging to them
there = not here
they're = they are

That explains a lot.
I was listening to Earth, Wind and Fire the other day, and it kept bugging me how there seemed to be a rather obvious grammatical error.
but i submit an alternate explaination

Why else would you camp out in some stranger's closet if not to catch them whacking it?

Hell, if someone was able to live at my place for a year before I found out, I think I'd let them hang for the rest of their days.
That and get them to clean the place from time to time.
