[luau] Be on the lookout for Stolen laptops

Wed Mar 10 14:37:00 PST 2004

Not getting ticked off does not drive up insurance rates.  I'd be 
interested in facts behind anger and crime.  Any that exist would be 
contrary to your claim about crime proliferation.  Angry people do not 
think clearly and commit crimes.  Or at least think about it.  It [anger] 
is solely for the benefit of your psychological well-being since it is 
merely an emotion.  The act of theft or persons invested in one's policy 
do drive up insurance rates.  Did you know insurance companies invest in 
things like accident and crime prevention?  It is to their benefit and 
yours as a point of representation uniting consumers and "Jane Q. 
Citizens".  They deal with the local authorities alot more than I.

Instead of crack, I think you may be reffering to methamphetamines in 
Hawaii.  I remember that last year those high numbers reported were later 
reported to be from an unreliable source (iirc, it was either HPD or UH) 
or inflated to invoke a response.

When someone smashes into my car with their automobile, as long as
nobody gets hurt, I can usually chalk it up to being an accident.
When someone breaks into a car, for whatever reason, it's a lawless act
of hooliganism.
By not getting ticked off, it drives up insurance rates, helps
proliferate crime here in Hawaii and gives the State a big black eye.
I'm not proud of the fact that Hawaii is the number one State for Crack
use. 
Everyone named "John Q. Citizen" should get upset when bad thing like
that happen.  Laptop computers or not.

Thats just silly.  They are just laptops!  Things like this are 
lost/stolen every day.  It would be a serious waste of media.

This is why people have comprehensive/personal effects/homeowners and 
renters insurance.  Any one of these would have covered the guy's stuff
in 
the car (regardless that it is a rental car).  Unless they are low-end 
policies.  Sure, blow up my car with a bazooka.  I'll just get a new one

with all new stuff!

Brian,

What's this world come to?
The details of this incident and a description of the items should be
posted on the front page of the newspaper. 
Is there anyone who knows how to make it happen?  Like the "Perry and
Price" posse?

To Whom It May Concern:

On March 9, 2004 between 6:45pm and 8:45pm HST a rental vehicle was
broken
into at Ala Moana Center Mall Level on the Shirokiya side of the parking
area near the ramp leading down to Mahu Kona Street.

Taken from the trunk were two backpacks containing laptops and PDA
(serial
numbers listed below) belonging to a Senior Editor for Infoworld
Magazine
and a vendor, both taking part in a magazine product test at the UH ICS
Department.

This is to request that if you are approached to "fix" a laptop fitting
this
description, that you contact the Honolulu Police Department
immediately.
