Though I know these exist somewhere, I haven't personally seen one in the 3 years I've been here. Petty theft does occur in Tokyo, and there's organized crime as well. You don't see this kind of organized retail theft because the police would actually investigate it, rather than do nothing and cry about "the crackdown on police rights".
