Lack of police presence

quote:
You can't reduce larceny with a gun. You go to the beach, they break in your house and they steal your gun, too.

true, Glen. One property we looked at to buy, we asked about break-ins, and the only incident had been to steal his gun. That was it, all that was taken. If people know you have a gun, then your house is one of the places worth breaking into.

To date, knock on wood, no one has broken into my house or threatened me in any way on this island. However, our cars got rifled one night. So we had cars unlocked in the driveway for over a year, and one night they got hit. From then on we locked the cars and took our stuff in at night. No further problems.

Oh yeah, the police took a report -- so that we could file an insurance claim if worth it (wasn't). Later, when a semi-vacant house in the neighborhood got broken into, the police did come around investigating, much more involved than with the cars. Which makes sense. (This was in Hilo, but not that different in attitude from my experience, even if they have more numbers).
