“How this rash of petty car crimes came to be”
Why does everyone ignore the simple fact that this increase is due to the politicians and laws put in place. When crime is no longer punishable, of course this is going to happen.
Until people start standing up and getting these people out of office, nothing will change.
When I used to park at trail heads I’d keep the door unlocked to avoid bashed in windows. These petty thieves have no skill in stealing a car,they only looking for things inside. Keep it empty.
Seems to be the new norm these days wherever you go. In the late ninetys my wife and I camped for weeks on Kauai and the Big Island. We left our stuff in the tent all day alot. We have been to the islands many times over the years (on Kauai now) and have never had anything stolen. Of course we wouldn’t risk it now and use common sense wherever we Go! Great that this subject is brought to attention! Thanks
Always park your car in a lighted area, avoid dark areas, at night time, If you are near your car and a person try to attack you, always hold in your hand the key fob,( press the red emergency button ) the loud horn from your car will chase him away, brings attention to people around you and your car. ( never trust strangers around your car ) (always look around you an your car before entering your car,) ( always be alert, ) I’m a retire San Francisco Police officer.
When we were in Kauai several years ago I stuck my wallet under the seat since we were going on a whale watching/snorkeling boat tour on a small boat and I didn’t want my wallet to get waterlogged. When we got back to the parking lot there was no wallet, it never turned up after I reported it either. Try getting through tsa without an id to fly back to the mainland the next day. Fortunately they accepted who I was when my wife vouched for me and were able to verify her, but they did keep an eye on me. Id probably still be there if it wasn’t for her being with me though.lol
Someone watching,? how know underseat,? Out of sight, but know you going on boat, target parking area tourist 🙄, 💧 waterproof bags, even cheap ziplock, I bought a hikers waterproof bag, even floats if allow air.

This is a problem almost everywhere, not just Hawaii

Hold your key between your fingers to use as a weapon if necessary.
