I heard that the security in Waikiki has improved, but still small incidents
are happening.

I live in downtown Waikiki and I think it is safer
than before.

There are homeless, yes, but there are people who live there, so
there are still people around, even at night. Well, at midnight, it's like a stone.

But compared to before, around Hotel Street and Bishop Street, there is no problem until
10 o'clock at night.

Early in the morning ， and late at night you need to be especially careful ⚠️. I once had a friend at work who was riding his bike to work
to take tourists out to the islands (Maui,Hawaii) at 3am and was attacked, he woke up with blood on his head and didn't know how long he had been down.
A friend of mine was ambushed at the entrance square of a condominium, and the attackers fled in a car waiting for him, dragged and covered with scratches. According to the police, the perpetrator worked at waikiki at night
and after finishing his business, he now targets people in the early morning on his way home.
I myself got into a bag fight at a bus stop early in the morning, and when I thought the bag suddenly became lighter, he cut me with a knife and fled. When I called the police and got on a patrol car, I saw a man who looked like a homeless man in the park with a big bag at his feet. The policeman asked me if the bag belonged to me and I said no, it was in my bag
I had 10 bags on top of my bag. They have their own place. They have their own place and the law has been checked. So it's a mountain of them later. Since then
My cell phone is in my pocket and my pepper spray in my left pocket. A friend of mine had her bag with her lunch box in it taken. If someone tries to snatch your bag, just let go and give them a sense of satisfaction. Anyway, don't get hurt
. Not only at night, but also in the daytime around Donq.
Try a poketbell or anything to protect yourself ｡
If you have any good ideas to protect yourself, please let me know.

Women are no match for male criminals, so

do not wear a handbag, shoulder （ or shoulder sling ）.

Bags should be slanted （ cross-body ） or backpacks （ or backpacks ） to avoid being targeted.

I don't walk late at night or early in the morning and I only carry the above bags

I have lived in Hawaii for a long time and have never had a theft.

I get picked on more often than that - -''

A policeman friend of mine recommends: precautionary measures (for both men and women)

① don't carry a bag on the side of the road
Thieves also act in cars. It's also the guy who acts with two or more people and doesn't drive who is in charge of the snatch and grab.

② Walking fast
I'm not letting my guard down.

③ Don't scurry around, always pay attention to your surroundings
A casual gesture is important.　Thieves are animals, hunters. If you watch videos of animals, you will see the same thing. To avoid being prey, you have to be inconspicuous. Be on your guard. Scurrying is dangerous ！

④ Walk with your voice
Always be on standby and ready to speak. I recommend using an earpiece to make it look like you're on the phone or fighting on the phone, which will also keep weak-minded thieves away. If you look like you're having fun, it's not a good idea because it shows you're letting your guard down.
"Damn, I'm listening ？ You know ！ Ah ！ ！ ！" or some other jittery hand gestures. A weak voice is counterproductive.

⑤ Don't put anything important in your bag, but have at least $10 in cash ready to go.
Or a fake wallet.　Take this ！ to protect yourself.

⑥ Don't dress like a tourist
The only way to avoid being convicted in court is for the victim not to come to court. Therefore, non-locals are targets.　Choose to dress like a local and do not wear Japanese clothes to work.
Look at what the locals are wearing and imitate them.

⑦ Avoid eye contact. Do not make eye contact. If the worst comes to worst, don't be afraid to make eye contact. Squealing is just fuel for the fire.
