Responding to a 12:30 p.m. call Sunday (April 27, 2003), Kona police determined that a seven-foot tiki carved from monkeypod and a six-foot tiki carved from mahogany were removed from a warehouse on Shojin Lumber Company property.
Both of the unfinished, hand-carved tikis were reported to be heavy and possibly require several people to carry away.
Anyone with information about the theft or on the whereabouts of the tikis is asked to call Officer Marjorieann Santos of the Kona Patrol at 326-4208 or the police non-emergency number at 935-3311.
