Twenty-six year old Takanori Osanai didnāt have a job. He didnāt have a permanent address. But he apparently had a plan to steal PSPs.
āMy goal was to sell the PSP I swindled away,ā Osanai told authorities in Omiya in Saitama Prefecture, which is outside Tokyo.
On March 23 at around 2:15pm, Osanai approached a group of grade schoolers at a supermarket food court in Tokyoās Itabashi. Osanai introduced himself as a writer at a fictional comic magazine, presenting a business card to the group of kids.
One sixth grade boy was playing with a PSP. Osanai told the kid that heād like the boy to play a brand new PSP game, but needed to borrow the sixth graderās portable. The kid handed over his machine, and Osanai supposedly made off with the machine.
According to reports of 5 or 6 similar swindles occurred in Tokyo from this past January. Police are now investigating to see if there is a connection.
