Police in Kobe on Thursday arrested a man who allegedly used a fishing rod from his 3rd floor apartment balcony to steal underwear from the balcony of the apartment below.
Police said that Higuchi used a fishing line measuring 4.3 meters on the end of which was a multi-pointed tool that had been hand-made by tying four fishing hooks together with string. Higuchi lowered the line and the hook snagged a clothes hanger on which the woman’s laundry was drying.
