I must be getting old. $7000.00 to re-attach the top of the spear? And that's with donated labor?

It would be nice that instead of getting a "slap on the wrist" he do community service at the going rate ( minimum wage) until the amount is fulfilled, and County pungling up the funds they saved, but I think I am dreaming here.

Kamehameha probably united the islands for less than $7000.

That expense would cover repairing the top segment of the statue’s spear, or ‘ihe, that was removed, re-installing it to the rest of the structure, and repairing other damage.
In addition to the removal of the nearly 6-foot spear segment, Yamada said the statue’s chest also was damaged.
“Whoever went up there with the ladder or chain or something hit the chest and scraped off some of the gold,” he said.
The approximately 50-pound spear segment, which detectives found in brush in the park Tuesday, was reported missing Sunday. It is valued at $10,000.
I think it's more then just attaching the spearhead.
Gold is valued at ~1100 an ounce at the moment.
If we wanna go cheap, i will donate a couple cans of yellow spray paint and do the job for free.

They don't make 'em like they used to!
