Current Events > Money-less diner offered chance to pay later. Turns himself into police himself.

(+) Yeah! (+)

On November 21, an unemployed Japanese man without any money, walked into a restaurant in Fukuoka Prefectures Yanagawa City and ordered a bowl of katsudon. Polishing off his dinner, worth just 650 yen, the 63 year-old diner promptly informed the store manager that he didnt have any money with which to pay the bill, and that the manager should phone the police.

The manager was surprisingly sympathetic and told the diner that it was OK if he settled up at a later date. Here, in most cases, is where the story would have ended with either the diner coming back another day to pay up or more likely, never coming back at all.

The diner left the restaurant, went to a public payphone outside and called the emergency number for the police, 110, and turned himself in. Yanagawa police later announced that they had arrested the unemployed 63 year-old man of no fixed abode, on suspicion of fraud. He is reported as having said that he had been in prison before and that at the time of the incident he was hungry but only had 96 yen on him.
