Dumb Criminals: Japanese Thief Accumulated More Than 200 Women's Bicycle Seats

[Initech]

A Japanese man with a fetish for licking and sniffing has been arrested for stealing over 200 bicycle seats that formerly belonged to female riders.

The man, a 35-year-old Yokohama resident named Joji Kondo, was arrested on 24 August after a security camera caught him committing an early morning robbery of three bicycle seats from a neighbourhood apartment complex. After authorities raided Kondo’s house, they found another 200 seats, all of which had an estimated total cost of over a million yen (HK$ 80,000).

Police reports and Japanese media suggested that Kondo may have been stealing bicycle seats since January 2012. Interviews with him revealed that his odd crime spree was inspired by a desire to “sniff the lingering scent of women.”

“I like the smell and the texture of [bicycle leather seats],” Kondo told authorities. “I lick and smell them.”

Nerdwinns.
