Kudos to the Honolulu Hawaii Police Department for proposing to post signs at tourist attractions. Thefts had been occuring at targeted hot tourist spots on the island, so the police planning to post warning signs listing those spots. This proactive involvement by the police will certainly deter thieves in those areas and increase safety awareness by the tourists.
