Here is a suggestion about securing your helmet to your bike. Don't secure it to some part which could be damaged by a hard pull on the helmet, or else the damage to the bike might be more than the helmet is worth.
For example, secure it to your crash bar or other sturdy part. Don't secure it to your chrome rail around the saddlebags or the damage to the bike by someone jerking on the helmet might be more than the helmet is worth.
I keep a small pad lock in the windsheild bag. If I'm somewhere that I think it may leave before I get back I run the lock thru the D ring and around the break lever.
Obviously the lock has to be small enough not to fit over the ball on the end of the lever.
I mounted the Harley lock on the left downtube. You can see it if you look real close at the picture. I don't use it very much, sometimes just use the brake pedal or strap it around the sissy bar.
