make sure it is duct-taped to your body

Total and complete BULLSH*T!!

yes i agree, crime against anyone is bull****

but

tell it to the local paper, would they lie?


The newspaper article you reference certainly doesn't even come close to
making the statement that all local in Hawaii consider the belongings of
tourists to be fair game, nor does it even hint, as the original author
stated, that people must duct take all belongings to their bodies for fear of
having them stolen. The original assertions was gross overstatement and you
are attempting the same thing, but, posting a link to a newspaper article
that does not corroborate your exaggerations. Or are you just another
"hate-Hawaii troll" trying to get some attention? KM

want other information? try google, "hawaii tourist crime"

i know first hand, i had about $4000 worth of stuff liberated from me
and ruined an otherwise beautiful two weeks. and it was a low
priority on the police's agenda.

What you do NOT know is who took your stuff. It could have been a
fellow tourist, perhaps your neighbor on the next block. It could have
been someone from anywhere else on Earth who, as you, was visiting
Hawaii. And, of course, it could have been a local. You just don't
know and so do the cops.

I travel without valuables or much cash; that's what travellers'
cheques and/or AT machine cards are for. Yes, the photos in the camera
are of incalculable value as are things such as museum memberships,
licenses to drive, and passports. Thanks to this medium, we can have
access to their details whither on Earth we be. For those of us who
are rich enough to travel, things are really quite good.

About two years ago, it was "48 of 50 US states" and then I visited
Maine. When I visit the remaining state, I'll let you know which it
was. Many have asked, none has been told.

A friend of mine says "There is no such place. Ever been there? Know
anyone who's been there? Know anyone from there? Nah, doesn't exist!"
But he names a couple of famous people who come from there.

Start packing! You can't keep the world in supsense forever. And if you get
there and it doesn't really exist, let us know to save us the trip! :-) KM

Obviously, then, it's either Idaho or North Dakota.
