I bought the same Madoka figure too, Japanese police. Does that mean that I might be the perpetrator too?
The Kurobas incidents aside, I'm having a hard time taking Japan's police seriously. When you try to pin the blame on a subject by citing that he purchased the same nendoroid figure that a lot of other people in Japan bought as well, it says your detective work is lacking.

Congratulations, you read one news story on the subject and now know everything about the case! There's absolutely no way in which this could be just one piece of circumstantial evidence that, when combined with others, points to this person's guilt -- because if that were the case, the police would report that too, since police around the world are in the habit of revealing all their evidence to the press during an investigation.

Except that all the evidence so far is pretty circumstantial. Unless the video clearly (hah) shows him putting the thing around the cats neck it's not really good evidence. The problem is those kinds of camera are generally low quality, so it would be hard to say anything he did was seen clearly by it. I personally agree with some of the sceptics on this one, they trawled through the video evidence to find someone they could easily label as suspicious and had an arrest record.
Either way as long as he doesn't give in to the "interrogation" practices of the Japanese police like the four people that were pretty much forced to confess when they were innocent he will probably get off scott free.

The point, which appears to have been lost upon you, of my original post was to sarcastically point out that buying a mass produced figure that was used in a crime does not make one *the* criminal. Nor is it the kind of media story that the police should have released because, in their attempt to convict the criminal in the media by stating that he/she owns the same toy, they've merely demonstrated how weak their case is against them. If you have clear pictures of this man putting a jainky looking collar on a stray cat in the vicinity where the information was found, or perhaps some pictures from the train system's CCTV of him taking a train and disembarking the train at the same stop close to when the kitty was found, then, wouldn't you use those pictures to not only assure and convince the public that you have the right perpetrator?

Seriously, this case is resembling an episode of Ghost in the Shell the longer it goes on...
