I did some reconnaissance and the rooftop tikis must be bolted down. I'm not sure that a crowbar would work.

The same issue applies to the spectacular hula neon sign. It is also heavy, so it would need to be supported with ropetwine to prevent it falling and breaking the bent tubing.

There was one lava tiki on the patio which should also be retrieved. I jiggled all of the handles in the back, and no alarm went off so possibly we can drill the lock (or simply go through the window.)

In reference to BigBroTiki's comments, I'll call the owner and see if he is willing to allow the tikis to go to a home were they can be properly cared for (lest he be cursed for needlessly destroying tikis).

However, the original plan may help out the owner or lessor by enabling him to make a property damage claim on the insurance.

I do wish there was a way to salvage the amazing fireplace.

Does anyone know the owner of the Tonga Hut (or any other tiki bar) well enough to have him buy some of these objects (neon sign, fireplace, Balinese style furniture, tikis) directly from Tahiti?

Otherwise, is there a demolition expert to join our elite TIki Klepto-Liberation Insertion (TIKI) force?

Greetings to the owner of a blue Jeep Wrangler with a TIKIFARM bumper sticker and a Ball State licenseplate holder parked in alley behind Tahiti.

You have just been drafted to join the TIKI force!
