HRS §654-8
Choosing how to get your property back
If a court says you own certain property but you don't have it yet, you can choose to get a court order for the property itself or for its money value. If only part of the property is available, you can take that part and get a separate judgment for the missing part's value plus damages.

The statute, as written — Plaintiff's option
If the party found to be entitled to the property is not already in possession thereof by delivery under this chapter, or otherwise, the party may, in addition to an execution for damages awarded under section 654-7, at the party's option have an execution for the delivery of the specific property, or for the value thereof. If any portion of the property cannot be obtained on execution the party entitled thereto may take the remainder and apply for and obtain a supplementary judgment for the value of the missing portion together with damages.
