Hollywood star Leonardo plays a talented fraudster in the movie Catch Me If You Can. It is said that the story is adapted from real life. Recently, a surprising crime has been reported in Japan. A cashier in a Tokyo supermarket stole more than 1,300 credit cards from customers with the ability of "never forgetting".

According to Japanese Asahi Television (ANN) on September 7, 34-year-old Yukio Taniguchi, a cashier in a large store in Jiangdong District, Tokyo, was arrested recently by police on charges of stealing credit cards. The reason why the suspect can smoothly swipe credit cards is that he has super visual memory. When customers take out their credit cards to settle accounts, Gukou Yukio conveniently uses the short time to help customers swipe their cards and secretly keeps in mind the number, valid date, security code and other information of the cards.

Police found a notebook in Gukou Yukio's room, which recorded the credit card information of 1300 customers. Gukou Yukio relied on this information to satisfy his living expenses by shopping online. He also bought goods from overseas mail-order websites and sold them for cash at a second-hand price. At present, the police arrested him on charges of illegally swiping credit cards, and it was not until the East Window incident that he was forced to stop.

Netizens expressed disbelief about Gukou Yukio's practice. Some people thought that Gukou Yukio was a waste of talent, while others expressed curiosity about his memory. "I can't remember a card number any more," said the netizen. More netizens think, "It's too wasteful to be a cashier only." "Why don't you do a better job with this ability?" "Only in the wrong place."
