Tiffany guessed right!

The next one on my list is the vending-machine disguise.

This was created by Aka Tsukioka 2 years ago in hopes of easing Japan's growing crime rate.

"It is just easier for Japanese to hide," Ms Tsukioka said. "Making a scene would be too embarrassing."

She wanted to find a different form of defense besides pepper spray.

This ideas was based on the idea of a ninja hiding under a black blanket at night.

So when you are being followed/chased/bullied/harassed by anyone, just turn your skirt inside- out, stand on the corner of the street, and you will automatically blend in and no one will find you.
