Maybe the 550 bank account cards were created by the original bank account holder to be given to the con artists. "I'm going to send you a bank card, grandson. Take as much money as you need."

It would be interested to hear an audio clip of the con artists at work. I'd personally like to hear their convincing tone and persuasive story, but I'm sure the police could make use of it as well.

Who will be the Ultimate Burger King... of diarrhea?

Sounds like you ran into a pretty open-minded guy!

When I lived in Japan, I had experiences where random strangers would come up to me, give me obvious direct eye contact, and initiate conversation.

Some were very pleasant to talk with. Some truly wanted to talk to somebody, with no ulterior motive, and for me, it was refreshing. I was in a time of my life where I was comfortable and open to strangers and their opinions on life.

And, that reminds me. Now that I'm back in America, I should be a little more friendly to the daily stranger. Thanks for this story!

I felt like I just read a brain teaser. Ouch.

This isn't even a well-crafted loophole. Oh well, you can be so dark and twisted sometimes Japan, but I still love you.

I can almost forgive the guy if he truly made a mistake. Almost. But seriously? Crashing there after realizing you're at some random person's house? Time to pack your bags, soldier.
