Burglary in Aina Haina, Honolulu, Oahu
BURGLARY: Reposting from William Truong PR# 18-335189 "Aloha. I would like to report that this past weekend (possibly last night 9/2/18) a burglar broke into my parents' home in the Aina Haina area and made off with several of my mother's heirlooms, namely 2 Kamaka ukuleles. One of the ukuleles belonged to her late father, former Reverend Abraham Akaka. The second instrument she's owned since she was 12 years old. This one may have her name written in the soundhole, "Sally Akaka." I appreciate the chance to post here. If anyone sees or hears anything, please feel free to contact me or the police (report #18-335189). Mahalo. *Edit: I'm working on finding any photos of the items in question. I was told the name "Akaka" may be written on or in the ukulele cases they were held in. Mahalo for your support! *Edit 2: The ukuleles are both soprano Kamaka ukuleles, Mahalo. *Edit 3: Adding photos. The newspaper article would be found inside my grandfather's ukulele case as well as the writing in the soundhole. *Edit 4: I am happy to report that after cleaning up and taking proper inventory, my parents were able to locate some of the missing items that were lost in the mess of the ransacked room the burglar left behind. Among these were the Niihau shells! We were very happy to find them and consider ourselves very fortunate and blessed. However, the 2 Kamaka ukuleles remain missing and are the primary items the burglar stole along with some other miscellaneous jewelry we are not as concerned about. I'll post a proper update later today. For now here are some photos of what my mother's stolen ukulele looks like. Thankfully my mother's sister has a twin ukulele of the same make and carrying case. Both instruments are Soprano ukuleles and the Kamaka label inside the soundhole is marked with my mother's name "Sally Akaka." The newspaper article would be inside my grandfather's ukulele case which is also a soprano. Mahalo again for all your kind and kind support!"
