I live in a small town, and I mean small. I've had yard decorations vandalized or stolen over the years buy foolish kids who have nothing better to do. Now I'm not going to defend every cheap plastic tiki out there, but ones like the Pele and the ones found a Target a few years back (and many other places) are great for out door use. If the tiki is sculpted in a decent design that I like, I'll buy it, even if it has a horrible paint job. When that baby gets to my house I will make some modifications to it (some sanding or repainting) and stick it in my backyard. If they get stolen or vandalized, then I didn't waste good money on a nicely carved tiki from someone on the board. As Kenike said, I would rather admire a nicely carved one while inside next to my bar. [ Edited by: Unkle John 2009-06-25 13:33 ]
