Uniqlo? Yes they should start to check all camera footage from them. And watch for a guy in a green jacket and white trousers trying to buy a suit at Mitsukoshi. He won't be going to Aoki with 5 million.

Perhaps they oughta stop piling the cash on the counters....the security and cash-handling procedures in this country serve as open invitations for criminals.....with the hard times facing Ken-6-pack these days, I expect to read more and more of these little tales!

Then again, obaachans walk around with millions of Yen in their bags and make transactions of huge amounts.
