"Thievery of any kind is always wrong, but to go local on local, that’s really nasty."
It’s one thing to walk right into a Costco then walk right out with arms full of Hurley pants and Gerry Lopez landfill ready foam surfboards without paying. Quite another to walk right into a core surf shop and leave with local kine gear but that’s exactly what happened to Oshima Surf there on Maui’s middle bit.
Cameras caught two women loading up on surf-branded tees and, maybe, trucker hats then dashing through the door into the warm-ish air. According to Island News, “The shop’s general manager declined an interview but she mentioned the thieves took ‘a lot of stuff.'”
Rage percolated quickly.
“Thievery of any kind is always wrong, but to go local on local, that’s really nasty. That’s going to be some bachi there, for the thieves,” Maui local Leona Kushi declared. I think to steal from those smaller businesses that work really hard to maintain their business, especially with Hawai’i’s economy, makes it even more of a stab, you know,” surf clothing aficionado Rynn Viloria said.
The balance of opposites.
There is no telling what sort of punishment the mob will deliver once the bad bachi bitches are caught but do you have any suggestions?
I do. I think they should be forced to subscribe to disgraced former World Surf League CEO Erik Logan’s Substack and read each and every of his offerings including, but not limited to, the latest entitled “Who’s Your Yoda” and beginning thusly:
1989. I’m a senior at Northwest Classen High School, working full-time as the nighttime DJ, emceeing concerts, and having the time of my life. Given my hectic schedule of school and baseball, I would usually get to my DJ job around 6:45 pm for a 7 pm shift, and usually nobody else would be around. One night, as I was rolling into the station’s parking lot on the south side of Oklahoma City, covered in red dirt from the baseball game, I noticed an unusual number of cars.
Like red hot pokers in the eyeballs.
I would rather go to occc for 3 years
No shame. Everyone should know by now that every retail shop in the developed world has cameras. But if that doesn’t deter thief’s it’s a prosecution problem. If not cured in the courts people will take to protecting their property on their own. That will get messy.
Dey nevah steal’um, just like small kine borrow’um brah. People no undahstand Island cultcha….aole sheesh….🤙🏽
You’re not a real tradie if you don’t steal from bunnings
Following the incident, a mall cop could be heard outside the shop firmly telling the women ‘take your shirt off. Go on, take your shirt off’.
I’ll bet he ends up sucking off one of Oprah’s friends, after the sportsball game!? Or is that too, “tame”!?
If people steal from Costco too much, Costco will leave like other stores have done in certain parts of California where shoplifting has been rampant.
While one might not have the same personal connection to Costco as to a local shop, it’s probably a bad idea to chase Costco away from Maui, where basic items have always been really expensive.
And stealing is bad so no one should to it.
Joke will be on them when they wear those terribly uncool surf outfits.
I guess it’s because you’ll never get over him playing you like a banjo.
Twang diddley twang!!

I officially feel bad for Elo now. The dude is just a punchline and he doesn’t even get the paycheck to go along with it anymore.

Thou shalt not steal. Off with their hands says the JM.
