I love that the one owner runs to work each day; that is a good, healthy spirit. But I also heard that running in Japan, with a backpack on is a good way for have the local police stop you. I've heard that police in Japan see this as a sign that someone 'maybe running away from a crime,' and routinely stop anyone doing so with a backpack. Is there any truth in this? I wouldn't expect the police to stop children doing it, but it seems that it is often young adults on up that I hear get stopped for doing this. Again, I do not know the truth behind this claim, but I find it interesting.
