About A Year Ago,

a unnamed woman drove out of  supermarket car park,

 in Higashiura, Japan, she didn’t get very far before noticing that her driver’s side front tire was almost completely flat, so she pulled over to check it out, that’s when a friendly man stopped his car next to hers and offered to help fix her flat, fast forward 1 year, exactly the same thing happened, but here was the clinch, she recognized the man, it was the same one as last year! a 32-year-old man from Aichi Prefecture, Japan, was recently arrested after allegedly slashing a woman’s tire just so he could follow her and offer assistance when she eventually pulled over to check the wheel, troubled by this bizarre case of deja vu, the woman notified the police, explaining to them that the exact same “accident” had happened to her just a year before. After checking the surveillance camera in the supermarket parking lot, police quickly discovered that the man who had helped the woman fix her flat tire had slashed it only minutes before she walked out of the supermarket, the culprit was identified as 32-year-old Yoshito Harada, and he immediately admitted to the crime, telling police that he had only done it as an excuse to get to know the woman, when last month’s incident made national news, a few people commented about a strangely similar case dating back to 2013 involving a man also named Harada, who was 25 at the time, he came from the same town and slashed women’s tires as a way to approach them. Back then, his lawyer claimed that Harada had slashed women’s tires at least 1,000 times, SoraNews24 recently reported that back in 2013 Yoshito Harada managed to avoid jail time for his repeated tire slashing by compensating the few victims that came forward with 30,000 yen ($279) each, He also agreed to wear a GPS tracking bracelet so his parents could monitor his whereabouts and ensure that he stayed out of trouble, although the exact number of times Yoshito Harada slashed women’s tires is still unknown, he was believed to have done it over 1,000 times by his lawyer in 2013, and it happened often enough that he actually targeted the same woman twice in one year, and two women who knew each other on at least two occasions. The saddest thing is that despite all his efforts, not a single date was made with any of the unfortunate victims, maybe he should have tried the Internet!
