Aloha,

I had put two tikis on consignment at a store in Long Beach, when I called today to pick them up, the store owner informed me that EVERYTHING was taken from the store, including all art that was on consignment. Totally cleaned out. Now, I did sign all kinds of paperwork that said the store (and everything in it) was insured, but I don't know what the future holds as far as compensation is concerned and when or if I will ever get it. Needless to say, I'm a bit pissed.

So, I ask all my tiki central friends to keep an eye out at swap meets and the like for these tikis becuase I want to get them back:

Tangaroa

Marquesian Tattoo

They both are about 2 feet tall, about 3/4 of a foot thick and carved from mexican fan palm. Both have been stained a dark walnut color and have a shiney protective clear coat.

If you do see them, please feel free to contact me (Jim) on my cell phone: 310 971 5068

Thank you
