Luckily there isn’t a great deal of crime in Japan. Well, in relation to most countries anyway. But some of the crimes that are committed are a little on the odd side. Underwear theft is a good example. But this is nothing compared to the latest crime wave in Saitama, just north of Tokyo.
Yes, some maniac. And I repeat, maniac, is going around burning palm trees. I mean, what kind of sick individual are we dealing with here? Up to now eleven trees have suffered at the hands of this deranged tree hater. Where will this end? Will we see rose bushes ablaze next, or heaven forbid even rhododendrons.
The culprit must be caught, and quick, because as a 68 year-old local rightly put it, “this is a matter involving people’s lives and it’s shockingâ€. Too right it is!

…you might want to remember that some people could read this blog at their place of occupation – this means that people might be viewing that disgusting picture in a work environment :^(…I hope that the manic who is causing this destruction doesn’t also lead to poor working people losing their jobs as well :^(…
…so, underwear theft is a crime?…bugger :^(…

I realise the picture is distressing. I deliberated whether to post it or nor for a long time, but in the end I thought it was for the best.
Regardless of how much we sometimes kid ourselves, the world can be a scary place. Pictures such as the one I posted go a long way in highlighting this. I jsut hope it didn’t cause too much discomfort.
