TOKYO (AFP): They came in the dead of night; no one saw them and nobody knew they were there. Moments later, the Japanese ninja museum was missing a safe full of cash.

Under cover of darkness, thieves vanished with the 150kg strongbox containing around US$9,500 (S$12,985), paid as admission fees to the Iga-ryu Ninja Museum in central Japan.
