There is a shop for thefts in Japan (5 photos)

Yes, it sounds a little crazy, but it's what it sounds like. It's a crime for a fixed fee. A store has opened in Tokyo where you can buy yourself the opportunity to rob a decent place for 1,000 yen.





In Japan, it's often the old men who steal from stores

The store is called TOH, which is one of the possible readings of the hieroglyph "theft". It operates periodically, according to the principle: accumulate goods, open for a few days, let everything be stolen and leave. Rent in Tokyo is expensive, and there aren't many Japanese with a passion for stealing. But once every couple of months it opens, and a line of Japanese kleptomaniacs immediately forms in front of it. It's more like a lottery with a lot of adrenaline. It works like this: Each customer pays 1,000 yen to enter the store, which is decorated in the style of a black warehouse. In exchange, they get the right to grab any item they see inside in 60 seconds.



With a line like that, the 60-second limit becomes clear

However, the entire room is equipped with highly sensitive radio microphones. And if the customer makes even one extra sound, their visit to the "Theft" store will be interrupted, and they will not receive anything. At the same time, thousands of different things of different value are put inside: all sorts of sandwiches, used books, clothes on hangers, there are even mattresses, pillows.

But stealing a mattress without making a sound is very difficult. By the way, according to the rules, you can cooperate, so four people can take out the mattress. But then the "criminals" will have a question of how to divide the stolen mattress. But for groups, they came up with a discount: if you go with a group of thieves, then only 700 yen from each. But it's more difficult in a group, since there can be four times more noise. But if you go out one by one, then the loot before the sound signal is considered fair game.

In general, the Japanese really like this theme (of course! You can hit the jackpot and feel the adrenaline in your blood without risk and dangerous sports). I would play this kind of heist myself! First, I would try to get a ticket for one person to feel how difficult it is, and then I would call my friends for a group heist. I wonder which of us are Ocean's friends.



As you can see, the seller is a rabbit, microphones are stuck everywhere
