Car Breakins

Havent seen much chatter on these boards,,,but wife has on fb. Shes nervous after being broke into in Greece. How bad is it on the island.?

Break ins are very common on the Island. There are signs at all of the tourist attractions to not leave anything in your car, not even a bag with garbage because the thieves don't know that it is garbage. Any local will tell you the same thing. Anyplace that has tourists is going to be a hot spot, no matter where you are. The trunk is not safe either. Not only does your stuff get stolen, but then you have to deal with a broken window.

While we have never had a break in on any of our trips to the Hawaiian islands, I know it happens so like @Lilsia says, we never leave anything in the car.
I think logically the odds are greater if you are off the beaten path versus the Target parking lot but I know it happens everywhere so we practice caution.
