According to Sankei Newspaper, Wakayama Prefectural Police arrested the culprits of the November 17th 2010 robbery of the old building of Toyosato Elementary School, the model school of K-ON!. The 17 and 18 year-old boys were arrested for stealing figures, guitars and cash boxes. The investigators said the two boys broke into the exhibition room of K-ON! goods at 1:30 am on November 17th 2010 and stole twenty character figures, three guitars, and two portable safes. The two boys confessed that they liked K-ON! and wanted the character figures. The 18 year old boy had been previously arrested for an unrelated theft in December and the police found the stolen figures when they searched his house. The two boys are considered to be gangsters of a group of burglars, who have been robbing offices in Wakayama prefecture.

...What.

gangsters of Japan have gone moé for Azu-nyan....wouldn't be surprised if they got tatts of K-ON to show how tough they are

Isn't this, like, old news? I vaguely remember a similar story occurring sometime last year.

^_-

I'd hate to run into those tough gangsters... I mean everyone know K-ON! is for the tough and manly!

Guess they'll have a Fuwa Fuwa Time in prison.

Now i won't be surprised if i see gangsters wear K-on! t-shirt....

De ja vu ~

again?!

i guess the 18 year old one didnt learned his lesson.. he is making the houkago teatime cry...

It's the same robbery, but the culprits from the original theft (in linked topic) were finally caught and prosecuted. They had already recovered most of the stolen goods in a field nearby according to the previous topic.

I can't decide which is more amazing: that there is a school devoted to K-On goods or that we have young adults robbing said school.

And they said K-ON was innocent, look at what it is doing to the youth in Japan!

FAIL

so what ?

Getting a criminal record for a bunch of K-On goods? Is it worth it?

What a hardcore fans
They sure liked k-on

Lolwut? While people are busy debating about ecchi and hentai anime having bad influence on youths, here we have youths badly influenced by K-On.

Um, I think that it's just that the school used as a model for the K-On school was given some K-On memorabilia as a gift, which was then stolen. They're not devoted to K-On goods, they just happened to be chosen as a reference model and got stuff because of that.

i find that somewhat funny that 17-18 year old guys stealing K-ON! figurines etc

good anime though

moe moe~

Well at least they took a safe and guitars. But wow, when I hear gangsters I usually think mafia, mobsters, or the lesser evil, gangs, not K-ON! enthusiast.
