01:33you do it to be like a cool guy cool guy

01:37no the thing about being cool in that moment like everyone i think is like that's awesome that

01:44guy's pretty off but that's it you never think about it again like hanging out with you or that's

01:48what i don't think anybody who ever does that really understands unless like they're a hardcore

01:52celebrity or something i guess like because they'll be like remember that person forever

01:56yes but they're gonna get the drink be like that was cool and then immediately forget all about the

02:01yeah totally forget with such a penchant for exuberant extravagance you might expect him to

02:07be a banker or you know a showbiz star however just a strawberry farmer even owned just a tiny

02:15compact car with a license plate that read as ichi goya-san which means strawberry farmer okay

02:22that's just such a specific berry it really can't even branch out and do other berries no

02:28and how big is this field i don't know i don't know what he ended up doing to supplement his

02:36income so he could go on these spending sprees was spend a lot of time robbing people and not just in

02:42f-u-k-u-o-k-a uh-huh that case right yeah investigators say uh between one year he broke into 63 homes

02:56with a total haul from the burglaries coming out to 9.3 million yen damn he would primarily break

03:04into places during the day when the owners would be out tending to their fields he would steal cash

03:09gift certificates and anything else that he could then convert to cash and resell i think that his

03:17this guy goes one shot too many and when he gets there yeah he's a good drink for everybody oh i did it

03:24the game no no no no why did you do that i didn't do that you are strawberry farmer i am a simple

03:33strawberry farmer why you got to try to be so cool everybody think i'm cool but just only for one day

03:39i have to rob a house again good luck just don't stop doing that

03:47that is such a weird thing to get addicted to paying for people's stuff he liked that rockstar

03:55feeling yeah yeah like people maybe they'd lift him up on his shoulders and parade him through the

04:00restaurant yeah like i don't i doubt that ever happened ever ever like not even close like somebody

04:05was probably like thank you yeah exactly thanks dog you're welcome that's it that's all he got

04:14so finally after a year of doing this the cops are on to him uh after some evidence turned up when he

04:22broke into a 91 year old's house during questioning he said that when he started his crime spree it was

04:29because he felt like he didn't have enough money to be impressive to anyone but when he started to

04:36eat at fancy sushi restaurants and bars and had nice dinners and wanted to pay for everything he

04:41realized he realized he looked so cool you like that you like that lifestyle i looked so cool

04:47he like went home and practiced and stuff in front of the mirror yeah like rounds on the house

04:55played like some clapping and stuff right sound effects yeah that's expensive to do

05:05that's a bad addiction yeah paying for people stuff yeah like i feel like you have to be

05:11just so rich to do something like that because you have no idea what people have ordered if it's a bar

05:18full of people too like a hundred people drinking at like maybe on average eighty to a hundred dollars

05:23themselves yeah like i'm sure he did it and then he was like oh god

05:37cool guy i am not as cool as you think he's like putting on gloves and he's got all black on he pulls

05:47down where are you going i have to go see a man about the horse but also it seems like he hit all the

05:54other people with fields so that's where he lives i know that's what i'm saying he should have robbed
