Stephen Keawe Kekuewa; phony SEAL, burglar

| March 18, 2016

Stephen Keawe Kekuewa

In Santa Barbara County, California, this fellow, Stephen Keawe Kekuewa, is running around loose, apparently, stealing from women. He meets them in public and tells them he’s a Navy SEAL, but, just by looking at him, you can tell it’s not true. After ingratiating himself with women, he gets into their homes and steals from them. From CBS News;

He is believed to have temporarily removed door locks from several of the homes in order for a locksmith to duplicate keys to each property. While the women were away, Kekuewa allegedly entered the homes and took naps on the floor, washed his clothes and stole other items.

Detectives described Kekuewa as a transient who is living out of his 2001 black Chevrolet Tahoe. He is reported to be a very suave and skilled story teller who often meets his victims at local bars.

On March 10, he was cited for being an unlicensed driver, having an expired vehicle registration in excess of one year and for displaying false registration tabs. Authorities subsequently impounded the Tahoe.

He goes by the nickname “Pineapple”, for some reason. There’s a fifteen-year-old article in the Los Angeles Times that says he was a part-time high school football coach and he was arrested for the same thing back then.

Police said they arrested Keawe “Steve” Kekuewa, 29, of Hermosa Beach after a neighbor conducted a sting operation.

The neighbor reported that small amounts of cash had disappeared from his apartment over the last year. The man told police he hid a video camera in his bedroom, put a $10 bill in a pair of shorts on the floor and left the apartment for the day, according to Hermosa Beach Police Officer Paul A. Wolcott. The neighbor returned to find the cash missing, reviewed the tape and turned it over to police.

Police said Kekuewa told them he had obtained a key to the neighbor’s apartment.

He was sentenced to 83 days for that caper – I guess he didn’t learn his lesson.

It looks like Pineapple may be giving his brown cherry to his cell mates.

“Pineapple” probably has a huge craving of cockmeat sammiches and tubesteak with nutbutter. The boys in the local jail will be more than willing to “fill him up”…

I think he needs a “pineapple” up his ass with the pin pulled!!

By my math, that makes, oh, about 73,921 SEALs who have been outed on this blog. Why do they have to be a SEAL, Ranger, SF, Beirut sniper, etc.? I’m guessing claiming to be a LCPL doesn’t impress the ladies or the folks at the DAV/VFW. Living in his Tahoe? Now that’s funny. Well, he’ll have new lodging for a while.

“…He goes by the nickname “Pineapple”, for some reason…”

I bet this scammer’s originally from Hawaii, and probably uses his native Hawaiian tropical “charm” as part of his routine. This scumbag deserves a pineapple shoved up his ass…

Pineapple the thief…now that’s funny…

Whenever the police describe these “smooth” talkers I expect to find a guy who looks like Jeremy Renner or Brad Pitt….not “Norm” from cheers…

Ladies, please explain this for me…how does pineapple headed potato boy “smooth talk” you out of your pants and your belongings?

Some of these ladies must have gone a long, long time without a decent man nearby.

Too many lonely women reading romance novels. I’ll bet he got that story down pat — many, many times. (Bad pun, sorry.)

I don’t get it either. Article says he meets women in public and tells them he’s a SEAL.

I mean, seriously?

I get it that Spec Ops guys are badasses, but do some women get wet in the panties once a guy tells her he’s a SEAL/Delta/SF?

It seems like for some women, a guy being SEAL/SF and all, is like being with Brad Pitt or something

He’s got the name, but he doesn’t LOOK Hawaiian.

I’m surprised he found a parking spot in Hermosa Beach.

I sometimes enjoy learning useless shit. Here’s an example. The pineapple was in Europe hundreds of years before it showed up in Hawaii. It is not native to Hawaii but was brought there by the white devils. The pineapple is native to a specific region of S America and was taken back to Europe by Columbus. There you go. Useless shit–but I like it.

Combat Historian

Useless shit, perhaps, but still much more useful than Keawe the SEALburglar, who REALLY IS a useless piece of shit…

Shitbag!

More useless than rubber lips on a woodpecker.

More useless than a fuel gauge on aircraft flown by Daniel Bernath.

fuel gauge worked properly, pilot probably had a habit of running in fail mode.

Awesomesauce!

If only more posers were hard workers like this turd.

Say what you want, but at least he is not taking handouts.

Stealing ain’t easy. Just ask the False Commander Phil Monkress (CEO of All-Points Logistics).

Females can be so dumb at times.

He obviously was successful in,”ingratiating himself”, with some women.

When you’re shaped like a pineapple the nickname makes sense

Met this guy Kieavia (spelled phonetically) in the late 90’s in Hermosa.He was a regular on the Strand. He claimed he worked at TRW but now I wonder. He always had money. He said he had property on Lake Nacimiento and frequently would disappear to the lake.
