It turns out that more people than you’d think are stealing toilet paper from train station restrooms

More people than you think are “taking home” toilet paper from station restrooms… The difficulty of identifying the “culprit” in cases involving theft from supply closets.




When you use a station restroom, you often see signs saying “Please do not take the toilet paper home.” This is also common in parks and public facilities. While “taking home” sounds mild, to put it bluntly, stealing facility supplies is a clear-cut case of theft.

The fact that it’s not zero already proves we’re doomed lol

If you use that sandpaper-like public restroom toilet paper at home, your anus is going to suffer.
10: Unknown Japuzz Watcher 2026/06/23(Tue) 10:20:58.21 ID:dWDnzt+J0
Why would you want to take home something that you don’t even know who touched?

We’ve reached an era where we have to put security cameras in restrooms.

Sometimes those “volunteers” who set up cameras for security end up getting arrested, you know.

Is this happening in the men’s room or the women’s room?
16: Unknown Japuzz Watcher 2026/06/23(Tue) 10:21:46.84 ID:bRyRjevs0
Let’s stick anti-theft tags in the toilet paper and see what happens.
24: Unknown Japuzz Watcher 2026/06/23(Tue) 10:22:59.64 ID:ENqL7nqj0
What are they even going to do with that super-thin paper?
28: Unknown Japuzz Watcher 2026/06/23(Tue) 10:23:50.77 ID:blfW/3oi0
That’s so gross…
For all you know, some junkie might have wiped a needle with it after shooting up.
32: Unknown Japuzz Watcher 2026/06/23(Tue) 10:24:16.99 ID:xtUnTujR0
This has been happening since forever. Is there even any data proving it’s on the rise?
33: Unknown Japuzz Watcher 2026/06/23(Tue) 10:24:35.39 ID:uB1GNndt0
Maybe we should write “Please do not steal” in Chinese and Korean.
36: Unknown Japuzz Watcher 2026/06/23(Tue) 10:25:49.10 ID:p8oK2j9L0
Probably not Chinese people. They don’t use the stuff anyway.
40: Unknown Japuzz Watcher 2026/06/23(Tue) 10:26:52.52 ID:KVUez2dv0
I wouldn’t even want to use it if I were given it for free.
43: Unknown Japuzz Watcher 2026/06/23(Tue) 10:27:35.88 ID:VkGaDHQB0
The number of foreigners has increased, you know. They might just think, “Hey, I don’t need to buy any since I can get it for free,” and take it.
45: Unknown Japuzz Watcher 2026/06/23(Tue) 10:28:19.90 ID:N52y89M+0
I can’t imagine why anyone would want to use such low-quality paper at home.
49: Unknown Japuzz Watcher 2026/06/23(Tue) 10:29:01.04 ID:nZWzGvad0
If you publish an article like this, won’t it just encourage more people to do it?
I personally wouldn’t want to steal it, though.
51: Unknown Japuzz Watcher 2026/06/23(Tue) 10:29:17.95 ID:IMtbfB9E0
People who can’t even afford toilet paper are walking the streets. That’s terrifying.
53: Unknown Japuzz Watcher 2026/06/23(Tue) 10:31:06.46 ID:TCjEtLO80
Most of it is probably taken from office buildings.
54: Unknown Japuzz Watcher 2026/06/23(Tue) 10:31:11.43 ID:1fwctpmN0
>Gender differences in shoplifting cases don’t seem to be that large.

That’s rare, isn’t it? Usually, men are responsible for the vast majority of crimes.

55: Unknown Japuzz Watcher 2026/06/23(Tue) 10:31:23.43 ID:FR7b9tsO0
I can’t believe people actually do this 😳
67: Unknown Japuzz Watcher 2026/06/23(Tue) 10:35:17.13 ID:ZE/opwLT0
Just carry a roll in your bag, people.
72: Unknown Japuzz Watcher 2026/06/23(Tue) 10:35:55.30 ID:zTlcamZw0
Stop it, it’s tragic when there’s no paper left when you actually need it.
71: Unknown Japuzz Watcher 2026/06/23(Tue) 10:35:53.22 ID:gbdlUO5M0
Seriously, just install paper vending machines and remove the free ones.
77: Unknown Japuzz Watcher 2026/06/23(Tue) 10:36:34.82 ID:IwFwjhTx0
With all the foreigners and weirdos around, making it paid is the only way.
81: Unknown Japuzz Watcher 2026/06/23(Tue) 10:37:07.61 ID:IMQGC9V90
I took some during hay fever season once.
Sorry.
86: Unknown Japuzz Watcher 2026/06/23(Tue) 10:37:28.77 ID:U4MqLzeG0
This is the limit of “assuming everyone is good.” Just make a machine that dispenses paper when you insert coins.
91: Unknown Japuzz Watcher 2026/06/23(Tue) 10:38:12.45 ID:b31FaER/0
I’m surprised people actually do this.
103: Unknown Japuzz Watcher 2026/06/23(Tue) 10:40:27.05 ID:UcN5liIN0
I saw someone doing this in the restroom of a crowded conveyor-belt sushi restaurant.
117: Unknown Japuzz Watcher 2026/06/23(Tue) 10:42:48.70 ID:Z85OuhUv0
My high-class anus won’t accept anything less than double-ply and soft.
129: Unknown Japuzz Watcher 2026/06/23(Tue) 10:44:14.67 ID:jsybG/wh0
Absolutely senseless.
131: Unknown Japuzz Watcher 2026/06/23(Tue) 10:44:23.99 ID:tNvBWXcv0
I took some a few times when I was in college during the Showa era.
There were piles of it in the stalls.
133: Unknown Japuzz Watcher 2026/06/23(Tue) 10:44:28.36 ID:Z85OuhUv0
In reality, many rolls at supermarkets have the store name written on them in permanent marker.
But I guess people who steal them don’t care about that.
174: Unknown Japuzz Watcher 2026/06/23(Tue) 10:51:18.77 ID:7TsyHJZb0
The culprits are Southeast Asians. Seriously.
190: Unknown Japuzz Watcher 2026/06/23(Tue) 10:53:28.27 ID:APzh1ajX0
…Why would you do that?
192: Unknown Japuzz Watcher 2026/06/23(Tue) 10:53:31.55 ID:sbJsJ0aC0
Honestly, people have been doing this for a long time.
209: Unknown Japuzz Watcher 2026/06/23(Tue) 10:56:05.15 ID:AUta1mfC0
Would it be interesting to see the percentage of people who take it home who also have a history of shoplifting?
311: Unknown Japuzz Watcher 2026/06/23(Tue) 11:13:40.78 ID:YosTKISv0
There are quite a few poorly-raised people out there. A certain percentage of them eventually become serious criminals.
418: Unknown Japuzz Watcher 2026/06/23(Tue) 11:34:49.97 ID:hPec9Rg20
Don’t just stop providing paper because of that, though. Please at least sell it in vending machines.
530: Unknown Japuzz Watcher 2026/06/23(Tue) 11:53:03.97 ID:vqRuQ/p70
Restrooms in Tokyo are so clean and always stocked with plenty of paper, I’m truly grateful.
615: Unknown Japuzz Watcher 2026/06/23(Tue) 12:09:40.21 ID:fORmGS8S0
I really don’t want to use that toilet paper at home.
793: Unknown Japuzz Watcher 2026/06/23(Tue) 12:57:40.71 ID:t+/q/i9p0
Yeah, recently station restrooms use mechanisms that make it impossible to steal the spare rolls.

This is a “shitty complaint.”

Introducing a store where you can buy Japanese clothing.
