Our friends visiting from mainland stopped by Kapoho lighthouse this afternoon...walked to seashore and returned to their rental car...windshield smashed and trunk opened to relieve them of some personal items stowed...car alarm and On-Star activated. Police arrived some 40 minutes later reportedly compassionate, helpful and full of aloha. No one was physically injured. Our friends said this will not be the defining experience of their visit and felt someone needed what they had more than they did. These folks are seasoned world traveled, not their first visit to Hawaii Island and acutely aware of our sordid welcome wagon. We are just frankly embarrassed.[
