The Invisible Burglar

The Invisible Burglar (, Tōmei na Dorobō) is the 8th side case in Lost Judgment.
==Plot==
Using the "stalker" keyword on the Buzz Researcher, Yagami is led to the three-way intersection on southern Seiryo Avenue. By observing, he sees a man on a building looking at the building across from him through binoculars. He calls the man down, and he introduces himself as Daichi Kiba, owner of the building he was looking at, using the homepage as proof of his identity. He states there have been break-ins at the building by what seems to be an invisible burglar.
The safe was losing money, some wallets were being stolen, and some snacks were being stolen from a firm renting the fourth floor. The CEO suspects it was someone from the outside, which is contradicted by the lack of footage of any strangers. Once, all employees were in a meeting and all their wallets were stolen, none of which were found in any of the employees' bags. Additionally, the security system was not tripped and the robbery was not caught on camera. With permission from the tenant, Yagami is allowed to conduct an investigation.
Sakuraka states the firm's business is consumer credit, meaning there is a large sum of money at the site. He states the robberies occur in the early morning or late night in short timespans when the floor is unoccupied. He investigates the office and discovers the following:
* Using the Noise Amp, a grumbling sound is coming from the ceiling, and there is a handprint on the hatch to the ceiling. The hatch does not open, and a loud sound is heard from the ceiling.
* A refrigerator, which has been having food stolen from it.
* A real katana behind Sakurazaka's desk, which would be very expensive yet was not stolen.
* A bug bomb on the floor to deal with a roach infestation which Sakurazaka forgot to use.
* Bags of potato chips on the floor; an occurence that has been happening frequently despite Sakurazaka ordering his employees to tidy up.
With these clues, Yagami makes a deduction. When asked about the culprit, he states They're still up in the attic. The burglar lives in the attic, and due to that, had no need to go outside, explaining why they were never cought on camera, and the katana not being stolen was due to it not being able to fit in the hatch. He then suggests using the Roach Exterminator to make the burglar come out.
Now filled with smoke, an untidy man runs out of the office, and Sakurazaka recognizes him as Gouro Mita, one of his former employees whom he had fired roughly half a year prior. Mita states he hid in the attic because he was not able to pay the rent after getting fired, and knew the debt collector would find him in his home. Since he knew the passcode, he would be able to steal money from the safe. They money is still in the attic, as Mita could not leave with it. Sakurazaka notes all the money is present and accounted for, as well as everyone's wallets.
Sakurazaka states there is no need to call the police as no theft was committed, and he had regret firing Mita because the company had made mistakes rather than Mita. He states he let Mita go because he knew he could find another job, and the reason he mad so many mistakes was because he had the workload of three people. Kiba thanks Yagami with ¥70,000.

===Evidence===
===Details===
An office in Kamurocho keeps getting burglarized. The office apparently not only has a security camera, but an alarm system that detects entry from outside. But the client claims the burglar repeatedly enters the office without ever getting detected. The building's owner has dubbed him "the invisible burglar"...
The invisible burglar was a former employee who's been living in the office attic after he was fired half a year ago. He said he could escape the debt collector and avoid paying his rent, while the warmth and access to food made living comfortable enough.
