Or you could run a cable lock through the helmet and grab bar . Some thieves would just cut the strap off the helmet to get it and replace it with one of those quick-disconnect things . Never really heard of it around here , though .

strangely enough, for all the lids you see just sitting on mirrors, or on someones seat..u dont hear much of that theft around here either..however that still doesnt instill enuff confidence for me to not carry it along.
Plus is a good conversation starter when other bikers in a bar,restaurant, or wherever you may be.

back about 10 years ago I had mine stolen. A $500 Arai. I only had it a week and stopped to get gas in my little "one general store" town. I was in the store maybe 10 minutes picking up stuff and waiting in line. When I went out, it was gone. I was soooo pissed.
I lock mine with the hooks under the seat, but as md86 said, even that is not a garantee. If I was a thief, I would not cut the strap. Give me a screwdrive and I can have pretty much any seat off in under a minute.I don't have a short temper. I just have a quick reaction to bullshit.

I think it really depends on the area your in. I usually take my helmet with, or I'll lock it to under the seat hook.
Corey's got a point though, the locks only keep the honest and lazy theives away.
I suppose you could just tie me to the bike, and I could watch over the helmet...Kan-O-Gixxer!
