My god, what kind of inhuman monster would do such a thing! If they catch the culprit, I demand the death penalty.

I notice that they listed the cost of the loss at ~8000 yen. That’s about 500 yen per melon. That poor poor retailer, who probably was selling them for 2500 yen per melon, as is usual.
