Although more known for the car company, Toyota City in Aichi Prefecture is also a place of sublime beauty. This city is home to the Senmi Shikizakura no Sato, a rare place in Japan which has cherry blossoms (hoa anh đào) that bloom in both the spring and autumn, which means you can see pink sakura against a natural backdrop of crimson leaves.

It’s this location of pure natural wonder that makes a recent crime (tội ác) even more heinous (cực kỳ tàn ác). On the afternoon of 6 May a man was out enjoying the splendor (sự tráng lệ, lộng lẫy) of Senmi Shikizakura no Sato when his own brand of nature called and sent him to a nearby public restroom.

However, after having taken care of business he found that is was impossible to flush (xả) the toilet. Unable to see any lever (đòn bẩy), he may have assumed that it was a faulty motion sensor or that the toilet was clogged by a previous user, so he contacted the local tourism association to report it.

An investigation was launched and found that the toilet was in order but its flushing lever, valued at 20,000 yen (US$153) had been stolen. A search of the surrounding area also revealed that a sprinkler faucet worth about 10,000 yen had also been pilfered.
