A
\n 61-year-old man from Tokyo\u2019s Ota Ward was recently arrested by Japanese
\n police for allegedly stealing no less than 159 bicycle seats, as a
\nbizarre way of taking revenge for having his own seat stolen last year.<\/p>\n

Earlier
\n this month, Akio Hatori was apprehended for the alleged theft of a
\nbicycle seat on August 29. Surveillance camera footage showed him
\ncasually removing the seat of someone\u2019s bike, placing it in the basket
\nof his own bicycle and pedalling away. <\/p>\n

Unfortunately
\n for him, the victim called the police and they started investigating
\nthe minor theft. However, when officers identified Hatori and raided his
\n house last week, they only expected to find the one seat, not a stash
\nof 159 of them.<\/p>\n

The story of how the old man came into the possession of such a large collection of bicycle seat is even more bizarre. <\/p>\n

Apparently,
\n the 61-year-old man had his own bike saddle stolen in the summer of
\n2018 and was so disappointed that he wanted other people to feel his
\npain. So instead of reporting the theft or at least trying to identify
\nthe thief so he could exact revenge on them, Hatori turned into a serial
\n bicycle seat thief himself.<\/p>\n

\u201cI had to buy another bicycle seat after mine was stolen in the summer of 2018,\u201d\u00a0Akio Hatori told police. \u201cAfter that I started stealing out of revenge. I wanted others to know the feeling.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u00a0After
\n opening an investigation into Akio Hatori\u2019s petty crime spree, police
\nuncovered surveillance videos of him swiping bike seats and pedalling
\nthrough Tokyo with them piled in his bicycle basket. <\/p>\n

He managed to amass a collection of 159 seats in his home, which police officers arranged neatly and showcased to the media.<\/p>\n

A trial date for Hatori is yet to be set.<\/p>\n
