Helmet Thieves

Unless I'm at work I leave my helmet with my bike.

Has anyone had a problem with a helmet disappearing?

I think most people would not want to wear someone else's nasty helmet. I would not leave my nice gloves out in the open though

Never had a problem, but my 3/4 and half helmets aren't anything to lust after either.

But this winter I picked up a Full Face helmet, and I secure that in my office or carry it when I'm shopping because that helmet is something younger crotch rocket riders might want. And I don't tend to trust that group as much.

never. I always leave my helmet with my bike if I'm just going in a place of business for a while.
I do bring my helmet with me at work. I can't see anyone wanting someone's helmet.
I would not want anyones used helmet.

Who would want a used helmet you say? Some punk kid or a junkie that thought he could Pawn it for 5-10 bucks

Never had a helmet stolen. Most times I leave my full face helmet on the mirror. I will carry it with me sometimes if there is a lot of people going by the bike. Usually my motorcycles are never out of my sight. If the bike is out of sight then everything that is trouble to replace like my cell phone and prescription reading glasses comes with me. I use the helmet to carry them.
