Ahhhhh....True Love does still exist

AFP , TOKYO Tuesday, Sep 05, 2006

A Japanese man was arrested after trying to steal a mannequin from a display window, claiming it was love at first sight, news reports said yesterday.

Shoji Shibuzaki, 33, was arrested at 3am in the southern city of Maebara for allegedly trying to remove the mannequin from display at a community center, a police official was quoted as saying in a report in the Asahi Shimbum newspaper.

"It was love at first sight," he reportedly told police after his arrest last week.
The unemployed man said he had spotted the mannequin, which was clad in a kimono, a few days earlier when passing and crafted his plan to haul it home.

Somewhere in the background - if you listen really closely - you can hear Bab's Streisand singing:

Love...soft as an easy chair,
Love...fresh as the morning air.
One love that is shared by two,
I have found in you.
