Fukushima man arrested for defecating on another person’s bicycle seat

The problem with using bicycles as a common form of transportation is that they’re often parked outside and open to the environment, accidents, or even theft. These are risks everyone is aware of and takes into consideration any time a bike is left unattended. What took place on December 15 last year, however, is quite possibly the last thing anyone would expect to have happen to a bicycle.

At about 7:30 a.m. on the day in question, a teenager approached her bicycle which was parked outside a station in Soma City, Fukushima Prefecture. However, sitting atop the seat was human fecal matter. She immediately notified the police and an investigation was launched.

As a result, a 28-year-old man who lives in neighboring Miyagi Prefecture was arrested on suspicion of vandalism. The suspect is accused of defecating on the bicycle seat sometime between 5 p.m. on December 14 and 7:30 a.m. the following day when the victim left her bike in the parking area.

Although details surrounding the incident are few and far between, the police were specific that the seat had been defecated upon, rather than the feces having been placed or smeared in another way. A motive was also initially unknown until about a day later, when the suspect reportedly admitted that he was attracted to the victim and specifically targeted her bike.

Vulgar.

he was attracted to the victim and specifically targeted her bike.

What a weird way of showing it. Doesn't sound like that will ever become a pairing up.

This incident is both awful and hilarious.

Several years ago, on returning to my bicycle at the station parking site, I noticed that all the bicycle seats had been slashed.

The parking area was adjacent to a police koban.

To my knowledge it never made the news.

"... when the suspect reportedly admitted that he was attracted to the victim and specifically targeted her bike."

I guess this is what is meant by cool Japan?

no better way to say "I love you" than to defecate on her bike

Is this even physically possible? It's quite an athletic feat.

this definitely goes up there as one of those weird ways to show one's love.

Just when you think you've heard it all...

LOVE the comments guys! You all cracked me up!

He’s s 28 and she is a teenager. He said it was a sexual act. That should make him charged with pedophilia and sexual abuse. 10 years.

I would burn that bicycle. And imagine that this creep will still be living near her even if he went to prison for a few month or get a heavy fine. Who would even feel safe knowing he will still be staying in her neighborhood.

Wow

I didn't know this was how Japanese men try to attract the attention of a obviously younger woman/girl.

You learn something new each day.

I guess he forgot the old saying, ‘ don’t poop where you love’

God! There is another story like that about a Kobe schoolboy. Is this kind of behaviour a thing? I guess they imagine at least some part of them is getting attention from their target. Weird!

The story needs more details...

How did they catch the offender?

Did he really think she would be impressed?

And how did he managed to do it?

That is one way to show "attraction" I suppose. Not the one I would choose...

So many questions for this man, I envy the police. Must have made that day at the office pretty entertaining.

But, I wonder how long the stalking was happening before the action... Not exactly a quick hop between prefectures! Pretty creepy shtuff.

An early White Day gift from him. How thoughtful.

A case of when love is not a many splendid thing.

The accuracy and seriousness with which this is written is both needed and hilarious.

Now he has a good chance of getting married to her,

A other socially retarded male who needs to be kept away from regular society.

 the police were specific that the seat had been defecated upon, rather than the feces having been placed or smeared in another way.

How is that even possible? Unless the police have CCTV footage, I would guess that he defecated and then carefully (to avoid damage) placed his expression of love on the seat. Perhaps he is expecting a return gift on White Day?

Obviously he's marking his territory - her butt!
