A 63-year-old former student has broken into his former school in northern Japan to retrieve items seized by his teacher more than 40 years ago.
The elderly man carried out the unusual mission in collaboration with his 58-year-old girlfriend, when the school was closed for the winter holidays.
He later said he hoped to find the former teacher’s contact information there as well.
The couple had managed to enter the teachers’ room but were spotted by an employee who was at the school and called the police to report the foreigners.
Officers came to the scene and arrested two people for crossing private property, writes the local network SoraNews24.
Both former school students were reportedly intoxicated with alcohol at the time of arrest.
The school was located in Mikasa, west of the neighboring town of Iwamizawa, where the couple live.
Social media users in Japan expressed widespread sympathy with the offenders, saying the story reminded them a lot of their childhood.
One of them wrote: “When I was little a middle-aged man forcibly entered the classroom saying he wanted to sit on his former bench, I do not know if he was drunk.”
Another wrote: “In our school there was only one reunion between the students, but when it happened I sat at my old English desk.”
“I’m shocked that teachers could seize items from students,” wrote another, complaining about the strict rules of Japanese schools.
