Hi Blog. \u00a0Apparently the Tokyo\u00a0police believe that jewelry stores need training in how to fend off thieves. \u00a0Foreign thieves, that is. \u00a0Even though according to the NPA’s own statistics, theft (almost always committed by Japanese) is by far the most common crime in Japan<\/a>\u00a0— even more than traffic accidents!<\/p>\n

And by “foreign thieves”, we don’t just mean the cat-burglar type of jewel thief (although even police also\u00a0claim those as due\u00a0to\u00a0“foreigners” because of\u00a0their “daring”. \u00a0Seriously.<\/a>) \u00a0We mean the loud, violent type, with perps shouting “kane<\/em>” while wielding knives, as\u00a0foreigners do, right? \u00a0Fortunately, they can be repulsed by shopkeepers wielding poles and by police brandishing\u00a0batons.<\/p>\n

TV Asahi was on the scene to record the event at a real jewelry store in public (in Okachimachi, Tokyo) to make the proceedings even more visible. \u00a0Broadcast October 9, 2015. \u00a0Check it out:<\/p>\n
