There is a restaurant in Carlsbad called Al's in the Village. They have a really cool Tiki. This morning I asked Al what the story was with the Tiki. He told me this. The Tiki used to sit outside. One day someone stole it. 3 years later a regular customer, who owned an apartment building, said he had found the Tiki in a hastily vacated apartment. It turns out the apartment was rented by three Marines. One had contracted a horrible tropical decease, one had been found guilty of drug trafficking, The last had been "dishonorably discharged" and left town in a hurry. The man asked Al if he wanted the Tiki back, Al said "Yes, that's my good luck Tiki".
