Lupin Steal Japan – stealing statues and blogs

We heard about this project a few weeks back when it was small. Then statues in Shibuya starting disappearing.

Popular character Lupin is a thief with outrageous sideburns (amazingly, even longer than mine). The Lupin Steal Japan started in November where people logging on to a very stripped-down website could type in things they wanted stolen. Submissions have now closed and apparently Lupin is beginning the task of getting his hands on all the goods! Already favorite mascot Kuidaore Taro from Osaka’s Dotonbori has gone. What’s next? Santa Claus, eat your heart out!

And now an amazing widget from the website commands him to “steal” your blog. Click below to see what I mean!

With collaborations with Brutus and online coverage going supernova, Lupin Steal Japan might just run away with all the web swag this month…

Check out the archive of stolen blogs!
