A young man (18) who stole an old lady’s car at knifepoint has offered his pressing need to attend Comiket as his reason for the crime. He needed to travel some 250km to Tokyo to get there.
The young man, a university student, chose as his victim an old lady (65) who had just returned to her car, parked in a shopping centre car park, after finishing her shopping.
He menaced her with his kitchen knife: “Don’t act up! If you do, I’ll stab you for sure!”
Having overpowered her he took off in her car. The lady was unharmed and immediately reported the theft to police.
He managed to get a kilometre before into his journey a police helicopter discovered him, after which he was soon apprehended.
His explanation is straightforward: “I wanted to go to Comiket at the Tokyo Big Sight, using the car I stole.”
Via Asahi.
His excuse seems so bizarre that it’s difficult to see why he would make it up?

Bad end. Good try though.
He needed his porn.
GTA IV lol.
He should have at least invited the old lady to go with him. She would have paid for the gasoline and stop-overs and stuff -_-
that's one lame excuse >.>
But awesome. I'd dig it
I know how much one wants to attend Comiket, but using this as an excuse only give bad name to Comiket and not true otaku-spirited.
I remember my first Comiket, I went hitchhiking from Fukuoka to Tokyo. It only took me little over a day and a half to get there.
I admire his determination(?)
why this case being represented by using a pic of vivio ???? ( T^T )
she doesn't do anything wrong (;; ^^)a
but yeah. . . . too impatient if i could tell . . .
I'm sorry, I couldn't find an image of a carjacker driving to the Big Sight...
Well, maybe anyone in a car woulda suffice...
But on to more important matters...Any more pics of Vivio? ^_~ She seems to be scarce, even on the Channel.
She 'borrowed' RH.
Joyriding with a bloodthirsty Device.
I know how he feels
GTA meets otaku = funny, he should get a consolation prize, probably a few doujins he was excited for?
What's worth to jack is a plane and then crash that into a comiket. HAHAHAHAHA
This is just stupid... not only he missed Comiket but he also got arrested.
Next time, google it and steal an empty car.
This way, at least he'll be able to enjoy Comiket before getting some fun time in jail.
WTF? No trains going to Big Site? He was too poor/cheap to get trainfare?
I'm also wondering how the heli-cops found him so quickly -- it's not like the old lady's car was particularly noticible from the air -- it wasn't an itasha, right?
"I'll stab you for sure!"
They never sound convincing.
Comiket wakes the sleeping demon inside each and every otaku.
it does indeed im contemplating stealing a plane now...
Ive actually tried XP
I took a Nice Boat.. but the coast guards caught me...
NICE BOAT
Be sure not to geto caught by your government. They might accuse you of being a terrorist/.
Vivio-chan at Comiket!!?
To the Batcar!!!
*batmobil
But I lol'd nontheless. xD
He couldn't carpool or something? Surely there were people in his town that were going to Comiket.
Youre forgetting, hes an otaku.
He has no friends.
Theres no Craiglist in Japan
Yes there is.
http://tokyo.craigslist.jp/
why am i not surprised..?
i mightve done the same...
That, good sir, is totally absurd :\ Why risk going to jail/death just to go to a Comiket? O_O
Because Comiket is serious business.
Comiket wakes the sleeping demon inside each and every otaku.
Dont worry about the next plane hijacking. It's probable me trying to get to Comiket.
I'm sure that's an excuse to pull the blame away from himself and onto Comiket.
He wanted to get that new Kisaragi Gunma doujin, see.
i like how this faggot site does not acknowledge facts like how zepy posted this first, then faggotplex posts about it and doesnt give zepy credit
http://zepy.momotato.com/2008/12/27/man-arrested-for-carjacking-to-go-to-comiket/
I like how you claim it's stolen news when it's clearly linked to one of Japan's biggest newspapers. Did you accuse people of stealing news about Obama's presidential win, too?
I can see your level of intelligence is at the same level as your civility.
We don't even read that site (and nor do many other people by the looks of it), almost all of the news covered here comes straight from Japanese sources, or from readers, and is always credited appropriately.
If you look closely you'll notice the sources given aren't even the same... but I can tell looking closely is not amongst your limited repertoire of skills.
"We don’t even read that site"

explain the lies to your faggot fans now, faggot.
Considering I only made two of the comments you linked to, and one was seven months ago and another in response to an article responding to an article posted here first your argument is rather vacuous.
Fair enough.
"Reading" a site implies reading it with any regularity. I did not say "I have never visited that site". Nor did I say "We have never read that site". Saving following the link in the comments, I don't recall when I last went there (May perhaps). I don't think they've ever linked here either, nor we to them.
Now kindly stop feeding the crude little troll... the fact that I rescued his comments from the spam filter should illustrate that I am not engaged in deceit.
That still doesn't quite explain why you said you don't read the Canned Dogs blog when you clearly responded to one of their articles.
Blame Capcom for bringing Grand Theft Auto to Japan.
You wouldn't happen to be a reporter in your day job, would you?
In Japan, C75 hijacks YOU!
Some people would risk everything just to go there.
Where is his spirit? A japanese suppose to go around with Jitensha!!! Why? 250km isnt far, just a couple of days will get you there on bicycle, why go hijack? Now you are further away from comiket behind bars!
