This is called using mobile technology to its full potential, A homeless woman who sneaked into a man’s house and lived undetected in his closet for a year was caught by owner who installed security cameras that transmitted images to his mobile phone.

A man who obviously doesn’t clean out his stuff that often found a 58-year old homeless woman residing in his closet. She had been there for an entire year, and he didn’t know until he noticed that food was missing from his fridge.

Japanese closets usually have two layers, a top shelf and a bottom shelf. They’re deliberately made to be deep and dark so you can store blankets and mattresses inside. (Traditionally, Japanese sleep on mattresses on the floor; they put them away during the day to make space.) When he finally became suspicious, the guy put security cameras in his house and had timed images sent to his cell phone. He saw movement in the middle of the day, so he called the cops. But they didn’t find any evidence of a break-in.

“We searched the house … checking everywhere someone could possibly hide. When we slid open the shelf closet, there she was, nervously curled up on her side.” via:msnbc   discuss in ixplora forums

    He didn’t look in his linen closet for a year? Was he a total slob, or a lonely karoshi candidate?

    Maybe he should have hired her to clean house for him.
