The safe weighs 150kg 😳
Under cover of darkness, thieves vanished with the 150-kilogramme strongbox containing around $9,500, paid as admission fees to the Iga-ryu Ninja Museum in central Japan.
The museum is dedicated to the legend of the ninja -- the covert martial arts masters and agents of sabotage who prowled the shadows in feudal times, and were famous for secrecy and stealth. But police called to investigate the crime found that the culprits had been less than subtle -- having forced their way into the museum office with a crowbar, Kyodo News agency reported.
The safe, which was stolen in the early hours of Monday, contained takings from around 1,100 weekend visitors, the Asahi Shimbun daily reported. The museum, in Iga, features a traditional ninja house and offers interactive experiences, allowing visitors to learn about ninja skills, throw star-shaped weapons, and watch ninja shows.The city's Mie University set up the world's first research centre devoted to ninja in 2017, and opened a graduate course a year later.
