A 27-year-old Tokyo office worker named Yuki Murai allegedly copied a female colleague’s house key, broke into her home 20 times, and snapped over 300 photos in what police describe as a disturbing attempt to "get her attention." The woman, a new hire at their company, was unaware of the intrusions until Murai was caught. The story highlights how his initial workplace crush spiraled into criminal behavior.

Editor’s Note: This isn’t just another odd crime story—it’s a stark reminder of how unchecked obsession can escalate, especially in cultures where social isolation and workplace dynamics sometimes blur boundaries. It also raises questions about safety and privacy in shared professional spaces, where seemingly harmless infatuations can take dark turns.
