A man who robbed a convenience store with a knife is being praised for his integrity after he gave back ¥5,000, having asked for ¥10,000 and received instead ¥15,000.
The robber (20) entered the store and menaced the man at the counter with a knife, demanding ¥5,000. The luckless store employee complied, handing over a ¥5,000 note.
Deciding that this was not enough, the robber then demanded an additional ¥5,000. This time, the employee handed over a ¥10,000 note, leaving the robber with ¥15,000.
This being more than he demanded, the robber politely returned ¥5,000, and then made good his escape.
As he had been filmed by security cameras the whole time and had only one hour before asked directions of a nearby police officer, he was soon tracked down and charged with robbery.
He admits the charge, saying simply “I wanted money.” Police are candid: “For only ¥10,000, what an idiot.”
He has been called an “honest thief”, but police are none too kind in response: “It’s theft so there’s no way it’s honest. He was a queer one alright. And he was a right fool for getting caught like this.”

Do I need to say it - lol!
Two things I like about this guy:
1) He was honest. He knew how much he wanted, and decided not to take anything more. At least you can say he's not greedy.
2) I love that he used a knife, and not a gun.
Given that guns are VERY hard to come by in Japan, the knife may be one of the most deadly weapons he could easily get his hands on. But yeah, still better than some alternatives... :)
LOL far away more organized crime. >.<
*facepalm*
Hahahaha cool guy.
WOOT!!!
They can caught him back just base on a video.
In my country, thieves usually untraceable. Even if recorded by video, they just denied it say " He look like me, talk like me, but that isn't me"
Lol, I don't know who's dumber? The store clerk for giving him too much, or the thief for returning it...
Then again the clerk was probably scared for his life, and gave him all of it without thinking...
Nice response from the cops^^
This is one of the scariest pics I have ever seen.
If I was him I would probably just give up robbing the store and surrender to the police after doing that. I mean it is one of the dumbest thing you could do when you rob a store...
wow this is pretty cool but um why do these pricks have 2 have stuppied comments
You misspelled "stupid" while complaining about stupid comments there, buddy.
lol at least nobody was hurt :D
Well that is certainly different. Not at strange as the guy who tried to rob a bank by covering his head with small tree branches but still...different.
Hahahaha this reminds me when a mugger wanted £1 from me. I only had £2 so I gave it to him. He was 'kind' enough to give me the remaining change he had, which was 60p.
probably wouldn't work if i asked for 1,000,000, got 1,000,050, but then returned the 50...
His alignment is clearly Lawful Slightly-Evil.
Yagami Light is not sure if this guy deserves to die.
Kind hearted Thief..
That means he has principle. He asked 10.000 yen, so he only took 10.000 yen, no more.
If only his honesty was used in better application...
Still a thief... but I'd like to know more about his reasons.
Can't read japanese though, unfortunately
Theft is theft..and the fact that his reason was he needed money then returned extra during the robbery seemed odd.
It would have been better if he didn't tried to rob the store owner anyways.
I lol'd really hard half way through reading this article. You know what? I wish all thieves were like this (especially in their intellect level.) The world would be a slightly better place.
Another example of how you can't be good AND bad at the same time.
more like he's bad at being good..
case like this always amuse me with its hilarity lol
he just wanted money to buy the latest shounen jump, the poor fella :(
Awww... Come on. He has much more dignity than the other criminals out there. He has class.
Second. I hope this isn't sarcasm ^^;
Nope.
What a prefect example for the underground society. I wish the Yakuza were like that too.
wut?
Instead of cameras, they need to install turrets in all the stores.
*sigh*...why cant the criminals around here be more like him...
Or simply...
Why can't people try to not commit crimes to make this world a much better place to live in.
Because the way our society is built up, there will always be people who lack money, or clothes, or food, or some other essentiality. This society we live in is, instrictually, not a very good society. It works, I'll give you that, but it doesn't work well, and that's why "the oldest professions"; prostitution, thievery, security duty and politics will always exist.
no comment...
its just too stupid to comment on...
good morals, bad application.
Electrical comes from electron, moral comes from moron
I love it hahahaha
I would've taken more and move far far away...
Nice idea. But I truthfully doubt that the convenience store would have enough money to "move far far away".
Far far away is a world of non-living. You don't need much money to get there :}
I don't get it : isn't far far away already supposed to be Japan ?!
Ah, of course.
But I for one doesn't think that it would bring me joy to live there, and I don't think my money will either.
Anyways, seems to me that the robber would have some psyche.
I don't think I would be giving money back if I was robbing someone based on the pure basis that I would very likely be highly stressed as I would commit the crime in question.
Weird... o__o
Double Weird....m O.o m
So honest. So rare bad guy so honest. :D
Are you kidding me? There's no such thing as a "bad guy". The silly media portrayal of these thieves are made only for entertainment.
Some thieves in real life have no other choice but to steal, so they still have their moral integrity. The man felt sorry for the shopkeeper and returned the money because he didnt want to be too greedy. Plus, he wasn't a real thief anyway, just an ordinary guy who desperately needed money.
I thieve, and I don't need to. :l
