Homeless Japanese Woman Found Living in Closet

From the this-is-not-a-movie department:

Earlier this week, while responding to a potential burglary call, police discovered that 58-year-old Tatsuko Horikawa, a homeless Japanese woman, was living undetected in the closet of another Japanese man for nearly a year.

The 57-year-old man had installed security cameras in his apartment after he noticed food disappearing from his kitchen. The photos were sent to his cell phone, at which time he called the police.

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.
