He was asked to appear in court. The supermarket reported that A's wife, B, had stolen goods worth 77,000 won (approximately 8,200 yen), including mandu (Korean dumplings) and cheesecake.
B said that he had definitely visited the supermarket that day, but that he had not stolen anything. When A visited the supermarket in person, the head of the supermarket's security team said, "We have taken CCTV footage.
(The security camera) captured the whole thing, right up to when Mr. B put the items in his bag and left the supermarket."
Mr A asked to speak again after watching the CCTV and returned 30 minutes later.
The security team chief said, "There's nothing on the CCTV," but added, "That's enough for us to report it."
My wife said, "I put the mandu in the cart and then put it back on the display, and the cheesecake in the cart.

While apologizing, he also made it clear that, "We regret that the wife was stressed, but that was not our intention and there is nothing we can do to help."
The supermarket offered Mr. and Mrs. A a settlement of 300,000 won (approximately 32,000 yen), but Mr. A rejected it.
