Japanese Man Forges Key, Enters Colleague's Home 20 Times, Steals Clothes As 'Souvenir'
After establishing contact during a company dinner, Yuki began messaging her regularly, asking random things such as her favourite animals, what she ate and other personal matters, according to a report in the South China Morning Post.
Though the woman initially replied out of politeness, she stopped responding when Yuki's frequent messages turned into a nuisance.
"I felt like she was toying with me, maybe even deliberately ignoring me," Yuki told the police.
Feeling ignored, Yuki thought of escalating the situation and one night working late, rifled through the woman's purse and fished out her house key. He took a photograph of it, noted the manufacturer's details and key number.
Afterwards, he contacted an online key duplication service, which delivered the new key without asking any questions.
With the key at his disposal, Yuki started sneaking into the woman's apartment in the evening when she went out for a jog. Over the next few months, Yuki broke into the home at least 20 times, taking over 300 photos and clicking pictures of her clothes on the sofa and even the bathroom mirror. He stole the clothing items as "souvenirs".
The woman grew suspicious of intrusion after noticing her clothes had been moved and spotting unfamiliar footprints on the floor. After contacting the police, she installed hidden cameras in the home. When Yuki returned for another stalking session, he was promptly apprehended by the police officers.
"I just wanted her to feel my presence. She never replied to my messages," said Yuki.
Tokyo Metropolitan Police announced that Murai had been arrested on suspicion of trespass and theft.

Last month, a man was arrested in Japan's western Fukuoka Prefecture after he was found lying in his female employee's bed, only wearing underwear. The unidentified woman in her 20s said she returned home during lunch break to pick up some belongings when she discovered her boss on the bed in a compromising position.
The 47-year-old boss told the police during interrogation that he liked the woman and wanted to know more about her. However, it wasn't the first time he had sneaked into her room.
Workplace harassment in Japan has become a much-discussed subject in recent times. In February, Japanese women started sharing their workplace harassment stories in the wake of Masahiro Nakai settling his sexual assault case.

Chinese man wins $2,600 compensation after employer forced him into after-hours online sessions
A man in Beijing has successfully won a lawsuit against his former employer over unpaid overtime, after the company required him to repeatedly attend online training sessions outside working hours, according to a report by South China Morning Post (SCMP). A Chinese court ruled in favour of an employee, ordering his firm to pay overtime for mandatory after-hours online training sessions.(Representational image/Unsplash) (Also read: Chinese man spends $600,000 on hair salon detox treatments, suffers severe health issues and denied refund) Engineer fired after three years demands overtime pay The man, referred to as Wang, joined an engineering company in Beijing in July 2020 and worked there until his termination in June 2023. Although the report does not disclose his salary, Wang claimed that he was routinely made to attend after-hours training through platforms such as Ding Ding and WeChat. Wang initially filed for arbitration, demanding over 80,000 yuan (US$11,000) in overtime compensation. He submitted screenshots of the training sessions and chat logs with colleagues as supporting evidence. According to Wang, employees who failed to attend these sessions were expected to make a 'voluntary donation' of 200 yuan (US$28), a practice he argued was coercive and implied the mandatory nature of the training. Company denies overtime responsibility The engineering firm rejected Wang's claims, stating that these online sessions did not constitute overtime work. They insisted that any overtime had to be pre-approved by management. The company further argued that employees were only required to log into the sessions, without needing to engage or even listen, and thus it could not be proven that any actual work had taken place. Additionally, they maintained that the donation policy was unrelated to these training activities. The arbitration authority initially dismissed Wang's claim, prompting him to escalate the matter to the Beijing No 2 Intermediate People's Court. Court rules in favour of employee As per SCMP, the court found that the employer did in fact arrange these training sessions after regular working hours, and Wang was required to participate. It emphasised that even passive participation infringed upon the employee's personal time, and that the threat of a donation confirmed it was a compulsory task. 'These activities occurred after working hours, with the employee lacking the option to decline participation. Therefore, they should be classified as overtime,' the court concluded. However, the court also noted that on several occasions, Wang joined the sessions later than their scheduled start times. In the final verdict, the court ordered the company to pay Wang 19,000 yuan (US$2,600) in overtime compensation, significantly less than what he originally sought.
