Lonely Man Calls Police 388 Times

A Lonely Japanese Man, wanting to make friends with police officers and fire fighters, made 388 prank phone calls this year.

“Fire! Fire! I’ve set gasoline and kerosene alight!”, is what the 52 year-old Saitama man would regularly say to his local safety departments.

Once, 10 fire engines with 35 firemen and an ambulance were sent to his home.

After being arrested on suspicion of obstructing the emergency services, the man simply said, “I live by myself and I was sad. I like the fire services and the police so I called them. I wanted them to come and look after me.”
