FAQs: The Nana Case and idols’ safety

The thief saw the door of the open veranda (probably to ventilate) and simply took advantage of the carelessness.

Korean law allows the use of force if it is to ‘avoid imminent and unfair damage’, especially if the intruder has a weapon and life threatens, as happened here.
