A Japanese man was arrested after trying to steal a mannequin from a display window, claiming it was love at first sight, news reports said yesterday.

Shoji Shibuzaki, 33, was arrested at 3am in the southern city of Maebara for allegedly trying to remove the mannequin from display at a community center, a police official was quoted as saying in a report in the Asahi Shimbum newspaper.

"It was love at first sight," he reportedly told police after his arrest last week . . . more

They neglected to mention that there was $250,000 worth of jewery on the dummy (the mannequin had some too)!
