Just 2 helmets normally. Only one cell phone. I am always vigilant when outing so never stolen anything from me.

Was it an expensive helmet? Those you carry with you. I have two cells. It's common for Viets to have more than one with different providers so talking with others is cheaper.

but.. the point. is.. there were security parking guys outside...

Don't mean to laugh at your expense, but that is very ironic. That just proves to me my theory they're just glorified door openers! :)

Did "his" helmet look suspiciously similar to yours?  And did it fit perfectly?

Curious.....how did you know it was his helmet to give? Maybe he just took a helmet from another bike like they usually do when someone's helmet comes up missing.  :lol:
