> Police have arrested an elderly man for the heinous crime of 
> picking 7 cherries from a tree, charging him with theft in a crime 
> so shocking it was reported in Japan’s major newspapers and on TV.
> 
> The 66-year-old man was spotted one afternoon in Yamagata 
> prefecture picking cherries from a tree in a field by 
> a 64-year-old agricultural worker in a neighbouring field.
> 
> She called police, who came rushing to the scene. Upon questioning 
> he admitted picking 7 cherries from the tree, worth a total of 
> ¥200, and was promptly arrested for theft.
> 
> He claimed he “ate them because I was hungry.” The 69-year-old 
> owner of the field says that “this year was a poor harvest, so 
> each cherry is precious, but it’s also quite sad if he did this 
> because he was hungry.”
> 
> Online there is some debate as to which is more amazing – that
