So many old Japanese people are poor, and not helped by their children, or ashamed to tell them they need their help, that some even commit minor crimes just to spend a few months in jail especially in winter. One more reason why a real "Welfare state", as in Scandinavian countries, is needed.
i do know that old people steal just like younger folks....the proof is in the building my mother in law lives in....if you leave your clothes unattended in the laundry room, be careful, because they might not be there when you get back...someone stole all of my mother in laws socks and underwear....they steal anything they can there...
