Tokyo (Japan) - A USB flash drive containing valuable deployment maps of Japanese and US military forces was stolen last year and the culprit has been caught. At first, the Japanese Ground Self-Defense Force claimed the drive was merely lost, but investigators discovered a 33-year-old captain actually stole it along with 2000 yen in cash (about $20 USD) and a 10,000 yen airline coupon. After the theft the captain tried to commit suicide by swallowing a massive amount of drugs, probably in modern version of seppuku to restore his honor. Fortunately, he was found in time and taken to the hospital.
