Follow-up on stolen helmet
When I stopped for dinner tonight and parked my bike in front of the restaurant where I could keep an eye on it, I went to lock my new helmet to the bike and found that the lock would not close. While not immediately visible, on closer daylight inspection it’s clear that the helmet lock was pried open. It’s bent and tool-marked. So, that means that did lock the helmet, and not just space cadet leave it to be taken.
Cold comfort, but I can stop kicking myself now.
I wonder if I now have an insurance claim to get the replacement helmet paid for. My insurance company said that they wouldn’t cover it, but I think that they will cover replacing the lock. On the other hand, why would I bother replacing the lock? It’s clearly useless.
