She came to Hawaii to get married. Her friends and family had given her money to make her dream of a Hawaii Wedding a reality. She decided to go to the beach for a swim. She left her bag with camera, identification, and money on the beach. She could keep an eye on it as she was in the water, she thought. Big mistake.<\/p>\n

“I was coming out of the water, when he grabbed my bag”\u00a0she explained.\u00a0“I started srcreaming…and he ran right by the police staion and nobody did anything,”The Honolulu Star-Bulletin reported on\u00a07\/14\/07.<\/p>\n

In the bag was her identification, clothing, her cell phone and $350 in cash. The money was to pay for a surprise outer Island trip to Kauai.<\/p>\n

This cockroach crook, took everything.<\/p>\n

Luckily the aloha spirit is alive and well. She was referred to the Visitor Society of Hawaii, who will help out with some of her hotel expenses. Someone else gave the couple a $20.00 donation. She was indeed touched by the outpouring of help. Hopefully her wedding will not be ruined.<\/p>\n

The police call it a “crime of opportunity.” If a would be thief sees an unattended item on the beach, he will strike.<\/p>\n

The lesson here is clear: never, ever leave anything of value on the beach, unattended. Even for a minute. This victim was less than 20 feet from her belongings. It made no difference.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n

You need to be careful. Do not ever take anything of value to the beach Never, \u00a0leave your valuables unattended. We need to let everyone we know, to take care.\u00a0 Be aware and watch your back.<\/p>\n

Leave your stuff in a hotel safe. Tell your hotel clerk to keep it for you. Don’t be another victim. Let’s take care of each other.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u00a0I’m tired of hearing about tourists getting ripped off. We need to let them know about the people out there who will\u00a0steal from\u00a0them if given the opportunity. So if you know someone who is coming to Hawaii, please give them a heads up. Don’t give these cockroaches of Hawaii (theives) another opportunity. Let’s not let a couple of crooks taint the good positive image of the Aloha state.<\/p>\n

Be careful out there…<\/p>\n

Aloha,<\/p>\n
