I wonder what why would anyone want to steal 62 pieces of knife because more they were discovered to be missing from four supermarkets in Kobe City.

An employee at a supermarket in Nishi Ward noticed nine knives were missing from the displays just after closing on Saturday evening, and an employee at a different supermarket in the same Ward noticed 10 knives were missing shortly after opening on Sunday. A third supermarket in Nishi Ward and a supermarket in neighboring Tarumi Ward reported that 43 knives were missing on Sunday afternoon. All of the knives were in displays without locks, police said.

Not to sound to stereotypical or pessimistic, but I do hope that we don’t get to see the headlines “Frantic Man Stabs People In Akiba With 62 Knives”.
