HRS §490:7-208
When a warehouse receipt is changed without permission
This section says what happens if someone changes a warehouse receipt without permission. If a blank was filled in without authority, a buyer who did not know about the problem can treat it as valid. Other changes do not change what the warehouse must do under the original receipt.

The statute, as written — Altered warehouse receipts
If a blank in a negotiable tangible warehouse receipt has been filled in without authority, a good-faith purchaser for value and without notice of the lack of authority may treat the insertion as authorized. Any other unauthorized alteration leaves any tangible or electronic warehouse receipt enforceable against the issuer according to its original tenor.
