00:00it sucks to be old
00:08a 71 year old japanese man who just wanted to look cool
00:15turns out robs 63 houses to do that oh that's so many what am i what am i looking for in there
00:25he's trying to get caught right i guess he was trying to live a life he couldn't afford oh
00:32i have to make a copy
00:34what do i do over the past year or so uh there was a very generous older guy in the area of kitakishu
00:5071 year old kazu nori inagaki he would go out to expensive sushi restaurants or bars and announce
01:00i'm picking up the tab for everybody oh it's on me tonight
01:05damn bursts of generosity would sometimes cost him
01:13over 300 000 yen damn okay i'll be right hold on i'll be right back
01:20where are you going i'm going to go rob a priest
01:24kazu nori i'll be right back
01:26that's almost two grand american but that is a bad habit yeah it's a real
01:33you do it to be like a cool guy cool guy
01:37no the thing about being cool in that moment like everyone i think is like that's awesome that
01:44guy's pretty off but that's it you never think about it again like hanging out with you or that's
01:48what i don't think anybody who ever does that really understands unless like they're a hardcore
01:52celebrity or something i guess like because they'll be like remember that person forever
01:56yes but they're gonna get the drink be like that was cool and then immediately forget all about the
02:01yeah totally forget with such a penchant for exuberant extravagance you might expect him to
02:07be a banker or you know a showbiz star however just a strawberry farmer even owned just a tiny
02:15compact car with a license plate that read as ichi goya-san which means strawberry farmer okay
02:22that's just such a specific berry it really can't even branch out and do other berries no
02:28and how big is this field i don't know i don't know what he ended up doing to supplement his
02:36income so he could go on these spending sprees was spend a lot of time robbing people and not just in
02:42f-u-k-u-o-k-a uh-huh that case right yeah investigators say uh between one year he broke into 63 homes
02:56with a total haul from the burglaries coming out to 9.3 million yen damn he would primarily break
03:04into places during the day when the owners would be out tending to their fields he would steal cash
03:09gift certificates and anything else that he could then convert to cash and resell i think that his
03:17this guy goes one shot too many and when he gets there yeah he's a good drink for everybody oh i did it
03:24the game no no no no why did you do that i didn't do that you are strawberry farmer i am a simple
03:33strawberry farmer why you got to try to be so cool everybody think i'm cool but just only for one day
03:39i have to rob a house again good luck just don't stop doing that
03:47that is such a weird thing to get addicted to paying for people's stuff he liked that rockstar
03:55feeling yeah yeah like people maybe they'd lift him up on his shoulders and parade him through the
04:00restaurant yeah like i don't i doubt that ever happened ever ever like not even close like somebody
04:05was probably like thank you yeah exactly thanks dog you're welcome that's it that's all he got
04:14so finally after a year of doing this the cops are on to him uh after some evidence turned up when he
04:22broke into a 91 year old's house during questioning he said that when he started his crime spree it was
04:29because he felt like he didn't have enough money to be impressive to anyone but when he started to
04:36eat at fancy sushi restaurants and bars and had nice dinners and wanted to pay for everything he
04:41realized he realized he looked so cool you like that you like that lifestyle i looked so cool
04:47he like went home and practiced and stuff in front of the mirror yeah like rounds on the house
04:55played like some clapping and stuff right sound effects yeah that's expensive to do
05:05that's a bad addiction yeah paying for people stuff yeah like i feel like you have to be
05:11just so rich to do something like that because you have no idea what people have ordered if it's a bar
05:18full of people too like a hundred people drinking at like maybe on average eighty to a hundred dollars
05:23themselves yeah like i'm sure he did it and then he was like oh god
05:27and he was like so how much is the thing you're like a dissimilar oh my god 30 000 yen there you go
05:37cool guy i am not as cool as you think he's like putting on gloves and he's got all black on he pulls
05:47down where are you going i have to go see a man about the horse but also it seems like he hit all the
05:54other people with fields so that's where he lives i know that's what i'm saying he should have robbed
06:00himself at some point oh and then thrown them make it look yeah they're like well authorities
06:0672 farmers in this area 71 of them have been robbed exactly after a while you're like why hasn't
06:13he been right nobody's hitting the strawberry farm yeah he's the guy who buys everybody's stuff
06:20you know like you'd think someone would have robbed him right they got onto him after a while
