OK, I logged in just to ask:

Who has a yurt in Puna now? Is there a problem with "breakins"?

Personally, I think yurts are [8D], but LOML will not go for one.

Aloha EightFingers,
There are lots of yurts in Puna right now, a few can be found by googling yurts and big island, there are at least a couple of retreats that are open to the public and 20 private owners that I know about. Yurts are far more difficult to break into than a house with glass windows and traditional walls. The latticework that spans the entire circumference of the yurt except where there is a door, makes it necessary to actually saw through at least 6 pieces of wood, at which point the burglar is placing themself in obvious danger, since they are compromising the fundamental engineering of the stucture.

Mahalo!
