Depends on where I am in the city. Sometimes I'll bring it in with me. The addicts in this town would steal a turd from your toilet bowl if they had the chance. Most of the time though i leave it hanging on the bars. I'd actually feel sorry for the ******* that wants to take my beat up, smelly, sweaty helmet.

I hang mine over the right side mirror. If I'm worried about it I'll put the strap through the cables and secure it with the d-ring and strap. Keeps it from just being lifted off the bike.

I've never heard of anyone stealing a helmet off a bike. I wouldn't really think too many people out there wanna wear someone elses helmet anyway, but I could be wrong. When on short stops I just hang it on right side on the brake lever. At hotels at night I bring it in. Never had a problem with anything coming up missing from my bikes, but could happen. There are a few dirt bags out there no doubt. Ride safe

I usually leave mine on the seat. I can't, for the life of me, figure out why anyone would want my old beat up, sweat soaked helmet. That said, when I leave the bike at work or visiting my Dad at the nursing home downtown, I take it with me.

Most recent was Mick from Australia in Vegas on a cross country trip.
It happens.

Thumb cuffs
I don't use 'em, but I think they're a great idea (for locking your helmet).
