I'm surprised this type of stuff doesn't happen more often with Japan being so cash based.

...Police have interviewed the clerk of the convenience store and nearby residents...

The convenience store clerk’s testimony:
“It looked very much like a strange foreigner who I am sure that I have seen in Roppongi.”

Why are stores getting robbed by people with fruit knifes? There is so much shit behind the counter they could hit them with... pussies.

Please. If you were a part-timer making 800 yen an hour, would you give a fuck if someone ripped the store off?

Sometime they do fight back with pretty funny results.

Japanese robber breaks leg during hold-up, calls ambulance

A hapless armed robber in his 60s broke his leg while holding up a convenience store in Japan -- and then used the shop's payphone to call an ambulance, according to a report and police.

The inept thief tussled with a 35-year-old store clerk after threatening him with a knife in Chiba, east of Tokyo, on Sunday.

The crook was disarmed in the struggle, which saw him fall to the ground and break his leg before hobbling out of the shop, the local China Nippo newspaper reported.

In increasing pain and unable to get very far, the un-named man limped back an hour later and used the payphone at the store to summon an ambulance, the paper said.

Obviously that was Littlefoot.
Hell, I was 5′10″ (175 cm) at age 12.
