Two remotes and a power cord? What an idiot. Looks like one as well. Put the perp away.
Two turntables and a microphone… lyrics from Beck.
He’ll may do more time in the clinker than criminals who do more heinous crimes. lol
Pocho. But the crimes that Hawaii’s politicians are doing is perfectly legal.
Well, if we’re lucky, he won’t be homeless for much longer.
Why? You going to house this buggah in your home?
Why steal a TV this day and age when we are all cutting the TV cable off? Heck, I’ll give you my TV set for free.
Grandpa was right. Monkey does fall from the tree.
Next time, stay at home and play Candy Crush.
What a fool, stealing a TV and remotes!! He’s homeless, so where would he even plug in a TV???? lol!
Where the sun doesn’t shine.
Sells it or pawns it for cash. Buy doesn’t care if it’s stolen. Cops should run sting operations like in the Mainland where they secretly videotape everything. Smart. Wonder if HPD is smart.
Yeah, there’s a lot of anonymity in Hilo…NOT!
How do they determine how much bail is??
Depends on which side of the bed Hawaii ‘ s Governor gets up from.
Much more to this than meets the eye. An insidious plot to drive the homeowner insane looking for his remote, which he KNOWS he left right on the end table. And to make matters worse, his spare back up, which he left in the fridge, is missing too!!!! Lucky for him, his lazy neighbor left a rake lying in his yard, which the culprit stepped on and was knocked senseless when the handle whacked him in the face. Another ugly crime thwarted by HCPD….next stop, Zippy’s!
That’s alright. Practice makes perfect. He’ll be back.
giggle….
allie will also be back, but not to do a crime. Right, honey bear?
Judging from his name, Colin Kerrigan, and photo, a mainland’er ?
Your point?
Believe it was referencing basic forensic profiling. “Forensic profiling is the study of trace evidence in order to develop information which can be used by police authorities.”
Stick with judging my puppies picture, instead.
Allie corrected me. Puppy’s pictures.
Run Forest run.
Must be slow news day
Only up to four hours of slow…
Act of desperation. I imagine he was thinking of getting a couple bucks for the TV if his radar hadn’t finally turned on and told him to flee. It looks like this individual needs some psych help, maybe he went off his meds because he could’t get them being homeless. Intelligent people can do stupid things when the need to survive is a top priority. He is housed and fed for the moment, at a high cost to us.
Just a clumsy millennial who does not know which way is up. Problem aggravated by growing up with your neck bent and eyes glued to your I-phone texting other millennials. Special awareness is lost forever.
Correction: Spacial awareness instead off as posted.
His resume to be hired as a professional criminal will not look so hot to the mob.
BACHI…
