Aichi Prefecture is once again ranked at the top of a dubious category, but this time it isn't related to traffic fatalities.

As of the end of November, the prefecture was ranked highest in house and store break-ins with 6,550 reported cases — over 1,500 more than runner-up Chiba.

With the year-end approaching, Aichi is almost certain to earn the distinction of holding the top spot for 10 consecutive years.
