Residents and staff of the Kalaupapa settlement on Molokai still can't go home after Hurricane Nolo, and now thieves have hit their empty houses.

• The drinking water system has been fixed, but a broken power line from topside Molokai is still down.
• Repairs are stalled because the poles sit on private land and crews need permission to get in; work is now expected Friday.
• Homes left empty during the evacuation were robbed, with money and jewelry taken and signs that hunting rifles were targeted.
• Security camera footage and photos exist, and the Health Department is working with the National Park Service and Maui police on the theft investigation.
• The two remaining full-time patients are staying in state care homes on Oahu for now.

Outlook: Return trips hinge on the power line repair finishing this week, while the theft investigation continues.
