The 57-year-old unemployed man of Fukuoka in southern Japan called police Wednesday when the camera sent pictures to his mobile phone of an intruder in his home while he was out on Wednesday, the Asahi newspaper said on its Website.

Officers rushed to the house and found a 58-year-old unemployed woman hiding in an unused closet, where she had secreted a mattress and plastic drink bottles, the Asahi said. Police suspect she may have been there for several months, the paper said.

"I didn't have anywhere to live," the Nikkan Sports tabloid quoted the woman as telling police.

Hey, maybe it's his lucky day - I think these 2 need each other. Fate works in strange ways.

1. I read about this

Incredible... she even took showers there. I remember the article said, "She was very clean." No kidding! That, or the man was not very observant!!

4. Hey, the guy probably needs somebody to look after him..

... I think it's damned sweet. He should give it a try. At 57, you can't afford to be too picky.

2. Mrs. OBD and I had the same reaction

She's not taking anything other than food, and she's so neat as to be undetectable. If she was harmful, she'd have harmed the guy already. I think I'd put her on the payroll as a domestic assistant.

3. I kind of doubt that she will help him...

She was arrested, and now she's in jail...

5. That guy must have one seriously huge house!

I thought houses in Japan tended to be small.
