Woman's year in cupboard
Found on Ananova on Sunday, 01 June 2008
A homeless woman has been arrested in Japan after living undetected for almost a year in a man's cupboard.
The man contacted police and, after an exhaustive search of the property, officers found the woman hiding in the top of a built-in cupboard designed to store bedding and mattresses.
Horikawa told police that she had nowhere to live and had first taken up residence in the cupboard, in a room that the man rarely used, when the owner of the house had gone out and not locked the door.
I have heard of women who spent their lives in the kitchen, but this is ridiculous.
