Why Ryoki Isn’t Arrested for Taking the PlayStation: Understanding Theft Consequences and Personal Experiences

Reader’s Question:
Why hasn’t Ryoki been arrested for taking the PlayStation and going silent? It seems strange that there are cases where even family members can be arrested for theft, yet there are no consequences in this situation. Is there a possibility he could be arrested in the future? I truly feel disgusted by the actions of a fraudster.

About the
Incident with My Friend

Recently, I heard about my friend Ryoki taking a PlayStation and going silent, and it really left me feeling uneasy. I can relate because I’ve had a similar experience where someone I knew took something from me. When something like this happens, it’s natural to wonder, “Why isn’t he getting arrested?”

My Experience with Being Taken Advantage Of

A few years ago, I bought some manga with a friend. We purchased manga worth tens of thousands of yen together, but one day that friend said, “I’ll just borrow this,” and took it away. At first, I thought it was just a small issue, but after trying to reach out with no response, I seriously considered contacting the police. However, I faced the reality that the police wouldn’t take action unless I filed a report. Looking back, I regret not acting sooner. The manga that was taken held precious memories for me, and it left me feeling quite frustrated.

About Ryoki’s Situation

In Ryoki’s case, it seems that because no report has been filed, he hasn’t been arrested. Witnessing behavior akin to that of a fraudster is genuinely unsettling. Being betrayed by someone you thought was a friend can be really painful. However, incidents like this make me realize how important trust is in our relationships. I felt the significance of communication and building trust with those around me. Such situations make you think, “Who should I lend things to next?” (laughs).
