EXTRA – According to Big Island Chronicle here is a partial list of some of the things he ripped off that eventing:
“…Two burglary victims say that the thief or thieves focused on undergarments such as panties and bras, bikinis, sex toys, and costume jewelry. A bike was the most expensive item stolen from one of the homes. A bathroom mirror was pried off a wall, and the victim thinks the thief or thieves thought it was a medicine cabinet.
In another home, the thief or thieves rejected electronics, cash, and a case of silverware found in a closet, but took costume jewelry, a vibrator, handcuffs, a baseball bat and a knife….”
