A man
in Saitama Prefecture was arrested after he was caught allegedly trying to
steal life rings and beach balls from a public pool.

According to police, at about 11:00 PM on December 24th, Shintaro
Tkaichi, 27, was trespassing at a public pool in Saitama City’s Minami Ward.
Takaichi was found by a security guard after he tripped the pool facility’s
security alarm. Police found life rings and beach balls in Takaichi’s bag. Takaichi
was arrested for trespassing and is also being investigated for suspicion of theft.

In response to police inquiries Takaichi was quoted by police as saying “I
snuck into the pool grounds with the intent to steal the life rings and beach
balls because I like them” and “Last time when I came (to the pool), I saw that
people had forgotten to take their life rings and such. I thought that it would
be a waste to let them get thrown away so I thought I would steal them.”

What exactly does “liking” life rings and beach balls entail? Does he hang
them up in his room or show them off to his friends? Or maybe he actually takes
them to pools and uses them? I guess we’ll never know.
