Bicycle Seat Thief

FNN News reported that Joji Kondo (35) was arrested on the 22nd after he was caught stealing three motorized bicycle seats in Yokohama. The value of the three seats was estimated at 18,000 yen. Clearly just another dude trying to make a quick buck in the high stakes world of bicycle seats, right? But when the police searched Mr. Kondo's home, they discovered 197 more seats. All of the seats were leather. Mr. Kondo is clearly a wise man, because he knew exactly what he needed to say. He was quoted as saying, "You can tell which ones women sat on by smelling them. I like the touch and the smell of the leather." The report doesn't say anything about it, but I'm sure the police let him walk after that defense. Actually, another article gave a different quote. It said he likes to smell and lick the seats.
