Strictly speaking, it's not offically "shoplifting" or stealing yet until you leave the store premises.
That's the reason why you have to wait for the person to exit the door.
If the store staff jumped the gun inside the shop and the customer says "i'm not done yet as i forgot some items and i will pay the plastic bag together with it.. etc etc" that would have been grounds for complaint againts the store.

They were able to purchase lands/properties for their Mosques/prayer rooms
What's stopping them from doing the same for their cemeteries?
I know a few Muslims in Japan and from what i've heard they usually have more than enough funds for these things

What would you have done?

Yes, as expected, the best the government can come up with is to urge Fuji TV to clean up its act. The government is always urging for this and that but the underlining issues of cronyism, conflict of interest, graft, kickbacks and other forms of corruption are never addressed and a proper, transparent investigation never takes place.

Yes, it was a mistake but it's not like he went inside a random house
You can make sense of how this can happen
I used to live in a mansion and i would say this happened to me at least 2-3 times
Got off the wrong floor and unfortunately, the door was unlocked
I think some families with kids unlock their doors in the afternoon as they expect their kids to be coming home

It's good that using pre-owned goods/items (in general) are becoming a normal thing
I've bought and used a lot of pre-owned items but never a smart phone so far
But I've been using my iPhone 8 that i bought new for around 7 years now
I guess one thing people should do is not to keep "upgrading" unless it's is really necessary
