In the more than 30 years Sandy Gray and her husband Rob Biggerstaff have lived in North Kohala, they’ve never had trouble feeling safe at home.
“I have never felt any kind of anxiety or fear or anything, and we’ve lived here all these years,” Gray said.
The couple moved to the Big Island in 1984 from Houston, in part to get away from the poor air quality there and also in hope of finding a place to grow their own food.
They found what they were looking for in Hawi.
“It was wonderful compared to what it was like in Houston,” Gray said.
But since the latter half of July, the couple said, they’ve been targeted.
On several occasions, the couple’s yard signs, which they posted in support of Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump, have gone missing.
It started after two signs set up alongside the couple’s pasture went missing.
Then more signs went missing, prompting Biggerstaff to secure signs to trees with washers and roofing screws.
Two of those signs were ripped from the trees, he said.
Finally, the couple’s Trump sign posted at the gate to their property disappeared.
“I didn’t think too terribly much about the first two signs being taken,” Gray said. “But then when it kept on and it got so nasty with the person going inside our fence and tearing down signs, that’s when I started feeling invaded.”
“And when we came home and saw the sign down right from our front gate, I was just shocked,” she added.
In total, seven of their eight signs have been torn down from the fence or trees.
At $20 each, that’s $140 worth of stolen property.
“It was unbelievable how it made me feel,”

That’s true !
Not a one
Join the upcoming Trump sign wave rallies on Queen K
by the Mormon temple ( which will really tick off the Romneyites ;^)
I, OTOH, think Trump should try to actually win the election.Travel to Hawaii and Alaska would be an exhausting three or four days out of a limited campaign schedule. And would not change the fact that HI will go Dem, and AK will go Rep. Neither of which has more than 4 EV.
Talk about a fool’s errand . . .
Happened to friend of mine- but caught the thief on security camera, cops are dealing with issue now
Wholeheartedly agree!! I bet most fisherman have hooked themselves at one time or another. I know I have. But only a single hook. It ain’t all fun and games out there fishing. :-)
FReeped. Boy, that Annie is a piece of work!
In before the first "are you logged in?"
Several times, twice as the fish got revenge for being hooked. One undersized striped bass (must be 28 inches to be legal, this one was about 18-19") flopped as I tried to release him and drove the hook into my finger. I had to carry him up to my tackle box, get my cutters, push the hook the rest of the way through and cut off the barb before I could remove it. That was about ten years ago, and I'd like a rematch since he's probably 35 pounds or better by now!
