The city cops gave him a ticket for making car repairs on a city street! The paper said the police are required to write such a ticket and have no options. They expect the court will dismiss the ticket when a police report (for the theft) is filed. The poor guy still has to go to court. He said that's the last set of alloy wheels he will ever own. -- Meerkat1

But the same unit (very > same) is now under $600K. And dropping (was $675K a month ago). Have you spent a lot of time in Kona? We found it to be our least favorite place on the Big Island. Bad traffic, overcrowded, and there's really no such thing as a beach until you crawl out north of the airport. There is a Costco and lots of other shopping, which I have to admit is convenient. I much preferred Hawi, Waimea, Pahoa area, and south of Kona in the Captain Cook/Kealakakua Bay area. Have you been to any of those? I know you can buy a decent 3/2 newer house in Pahoa for around $250K if you look a bit. ~Amanda

Many years ago, in the days before cell phones, I broke down on the Interstate. I was on our bypass, I-459, right after it was built and in an area that was several miles between exits. It was at night and I started walking what I figured was the shortest route, which was back the way I had come. I actually saw a state trooper go by and when he saw me, he slowed down. I was hoping he might stop, but he kept going and pulled off by my car. I figured he put two and two together and come back to help me, but he didn't. It took me about an hour and a half to walk to the exit, find a phone, call AAA to send a wrecker to pick me up and take me back to my car to tow it. When I got there, I found the trooper had left a ticket for improper parking on the shoulder. So, this trooper, instead of stopping to help me was more concerned with writing a $25 ticket. I think this was the day that I stopped supporting the FOP. -- - RODNEY Next WDW Vacation? Who knows!
