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.
I saw a video the other day of the “homeless” camped out in a park alongside the beach.
Here is the video if anyone is interested.

Most Hotels have in room safes to use. At least back in the early 80’s they did. If not there’s still the safe available from the Front Desk.
“I have a solution for the theft.”
Public flogging seems to work very well.
That could drown rappers.
Lawsuit!
Drones with coconuts.
A thief starts to steal, you drop the coconut on his noggin.
Bonk!
Identify the thieves by the knots on their heads.
We should ship the 20 million illegals that just arrive here to Hawaii..
(If not there’s still the safe available from the Front Desk.)
Yes but how much can you trust the person at the front desk these days?
Where is Five O .......??
They have told people for decades to never lock your vehicles when you park at the beaches out there, because the ice heads and the vagrants will just bust the windows out and look for stuff to steal.
It’s been a thief’s haven for decades.
So, keep all of your valuables at your condo, and leave your car unlocked, and don’t go too far from the beach, it kind of takes away from the “tropical paradise” vacation myth, but at least you won’t lose your stuff, and be on the hook for a broken rental car window. (read the fine print folks)
Democrats don't prosecute and punish criminals, instead they add burdens to the law abiding citizens.
Not IF they are locked in the safe.
About five years ago we spent a couple nights at the Outrigger Reef hotel on Waikiki. Not the one that Dukes is in the one with the pier in front. The opposite end from Diamond Head.
This spot is only one hotel away from the city park that goes down to the water. That park mush have had a couple hundred homeless people living in it. To the point that we were warned not to walk down there. Especially at night.
I guess if you wanted to be homeless, Hawaii is the place to be. Aloha
As far as they can be thrown.
Soon to be a day at the beach.
It can be stopped. Just need have will to do it.
Identify the thieves by the knots on their heads.
= = =
And if they are identified? Probably let go, if even persued.
How about you put fentynal in your bag you leave on the beach?
Self-identification, immobilization, and justice - all quickly.
If they dealt with the crime, then ordinary honest citizens would not be prisoners of the state.
“...we are the illegals.”
I love it when I’m in Hawaii and a white person originally from the mainland insists I have to get a tan because the Hawaiians don’t like whiteness. I also notice that Hawaii is a US state that has a day off to celebrate a monarch, probably because of the same indoctrination against whiteness.
Perpetual victimhood is a sense of power that never goes away for those who enjoy it. It feels good to be a victim.

The Democrats love power. They denigrate the greatness of our founding to achieve it.
Hawaii was a nation before the United Fruit Company came..............
