The Japan Times is reporting the discovery of a Yakuza manual with tips on how to carry out various crimes. The 206-page book, titled “Special Top Secret Information,” covers more than 100 items on successfully committing crimes.

Topics include:
The best time for purse-snatching: economic recessions.
How to borrow money from loan sharks without having to pay interest.
How to break into cars without special tools.

This stuff seems pretty mild & I always thought the Yakuza were heavy-hitters. Maybe Volume 2 will cover more advanced topics like: cargo theft, fraud, kidnapping and protection payments.
