"Miss me, yet?"

Authorities in the Hawaiian capital of Honolulu have urged beachgoers to take their valuables into the ocean rather than risk them being stolen by criminals.
In a message posted in the run-up to King Kamehameha I Day, a public holiday in the state of Hawaii, the Honolulu police department said people should instead invest in a “waterproof bag” in which they can keep their valuables safe.
“For those enjoying the beach, don’t leave valuables unattended on the sand,” the message read. “Instead, use a waterproof bag that you can take into the water with you.”
...
Social media users were understandably perplexed.
“How about arresting, prosecuting and locking up criminals?” one user wrote on Instagram.
“People no longer have safe and wonderful weekends in democrat run, crime-ridden cesspools,” added another on the X plaform.
...
the warning comes amid a surger in crime across the island:
“It is a real problem. It’s been getting worse. There’s more and more every week, especially with summer out of school,” said one beach boy.
At a Waikiki Neighborhood Board meeting in April, HPD reported more than 160 thefts in the area that month. Some say they see why police are urging caution.
“You can never be too safe. If you have to take an extra precaution, it’s too easy to do so,” said a beachgoer.
To the surprise of nobody, Hawaii is run almost exclusively by Democrats. The state currently has a Democratic governor, two Democratic Senators and Democratic super majorities across both houses of the Hawaii State Legislature.
"Miss me, yet?"
Is Hawaii getting their fair share of illegals?
Lol!
I blame Wo Fat.
I had my watch stolen on the beach once.
It was wrapped up in my towel and we were out in the water. When we got out to dry it was gone...............
Leave your valuables in the hotel room.
To a Hawaiian, WE are the ‘illegals’...................
What a novel idea. Do you think it could work? 🤔
I hope so.
Obviously.
So the maid can steal them..................🙄
I’ve had my flip flops and prescription sunglasses stolen on the beach while I was surfing
I didn’t think I needed the sarc tag.
I guess I miscalculated. 😏
How do we know this is really a message from the police?
Could very well be a crafty sneaky message from the just-off-the-beach sharks.
Here we have signs for tourists that say lock your valuables in the trunk of your car, OUT OF SIGHT.
It used to be your stuff would not be stolen in America, we parked with our car windows down and doors unlocked and things left on the seats, bicycles left places and were still there when we got around to getting them, windows at home left open all day and car keys left in the car in the drive way, guns on display in the living room in fancy gun cabinets or in the wooden gun rack your kid proudly made in wood shop, and still with all those open windows and unlocked doors.
Yes, I’ll never go.
Moral foundation evaporating. I have a solution for the theft.
