TOKYO (AFP) - A drunken Japanese burglar became a cropper when he tried to steal a young woman's designer wallet.

Unemployed Hideaki Kinos h i ta, 41, was tackled by the woman and arrested after he tried to lift three bags after breaking in to her office in Hakata, southern Japan.

Kinos h i ta threatened to stab the 23-year-old woman with a knife, but she grabbed his arm and cornered him before a male customer came to her aid.

"I was scared, but I was desperate because he was trying to steal my bag with my precious Louis Vuitton wallet inside," she told police, according to the Mainichi Shimbun newspaper.

She escaped with minor injuries. The report said Kinos h i ta was drunk at the time and did not really have a knife.

Poor guy, FF censored his name.
