2,000 peaches stolen from Fukushima orchard

An investment is one or two angry, loud dogs seems like a wise investment. There are technology options too, but maybe too complex for the old, rural farmer.

Not again.

Who counted?

Someone like Fukushima fruit

The "Product of Fukushima" items at a discount price in the supermarkets get a hard pass from me.

Even when the farmer want to sell it, since it Fukushima product they need to sell in discount. Now someone stole it, when they want to sell it, they need to lower their price even more.

325 yen for farmer price for peaches? The math isn’t right. By the time you get JA involved and super market pricing there is no margin. It also seems strange no one saw or witnessed it seeing there were so many taken. Picking 30 trees must take hours and hours. And seeing the time frame was night they would have had lights which neighbors should have seen. Sad for the farmer but the story doesn’t sound right.

2,000 peaches from 30 trees. 60 to 70 peaches per tree. Done at night, and no one noticed anything?

It is a great loss for a farmer, however it is Fukushima peach so I doubt there would be many people who want to eat it anyway...

Maybe inside job to get insurance ?

I wonder if these are covered by insurance. Fruit thefts seem to happen quite often in Japan.

Black walnut trees in the country were cut down and hauled off in Illinois not many years ago.

“Grow it and they will come.”

Atasuki peaches? I must look out for them! Bcause I simply love peaches! But please ! Do not think I have been the agile peach burglar! Although I simplylove peaches, I cannot climb trees - okay?

AGAIN!!?

Seems like a very well organized, efficient operation.

just the beginning

There are numerous cases of fruit and livestock thefts involving those on the "guest workers" program.

Who on earth would eat peaches from heavily radioactive Fukushima. Last time I went there it six times human effects. Now maybe ten? I will go there soon and check.

Maybe it hundred times human effects. Who know? No know! Mystary!

You can buy a pretty decent pair of night vision goggles for around san-man ... Don't need to be all Watergate with the flashlights

Why steal them? I wouldn't eat them even if given to me for free, seeing they are from Fukushima.

One peach is about 1000yen at the shop. How come 2000 peaches are only 650,000yen. Shops must be making too much profit.

Ever heard of this little socioeconomic system called Capitalism?

To be fair, I would bet you have. But you clearly haven't heard of the race to the bottom: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Race_to_the_bottom

If they're good enough for a Korean Olympic athlete, they're good enough for anyone.
