A former bit actor with a hoarding disorder kept shopping online, filling his flat in a Hong Kong public housing building with unopened parcels.

Every inch of the 168-square-foot flat of 58-year-old Kwok Kai-chung was filled with clutter, forcing him to put new deliveries in the common corridor of Fu Cheong Estate in Sham Shui Po, Sing Tao Probe reported.

With Kwok’s parcels and miscellaneous items filling the corridor, it had turned into his personal storage space, prompting complaints from other tenants.

Kwok was repeatedly notified by estate management to clear the corridor, but the clutter remained, with a strong foul odor from the spoiled goods adding to the residents’ woes, according to The Standard (TS).

An attempt by personnel from the Housing Department (HD) to clear the corridor of obstructions in 2013 failed when Kwok threatened to kill himself, according to TS.

HD officers recently met with Kwok and told him to remove the parcels, but he again threatened to harm himself.

Meanwhile, a 32-year-old woman from Osaka, Japan, was arrested on 4 August for ordering numerous merchandise items from online stores without paying for them.

The woman, whose name was not mentioned by local media in its report of the arrest, is accused of business obstruction by publishing company Shueisha Inc., The Japan News (TJN) reported.

Shueisha complained that she made large orders for merchandise featuring the publisher’s animation characters. Her orders from Shueisha’s Jump Character Store website between July 2024 and May 2025 were to be paid upon delivery, or COD, according to TJN.

However, when the orders arrived, she would cancel them. The restaurant worker is suspected of canceling about 2,000 orders, turning them into cancel-on-delivery packages.

She is also suspected of not paying for ¥4.3 billion worth of merchandise that she had ordered through a convenience store since 2023, TJN reports.
