My Thai home was broken into recently and amongst the items stolen was my HJC Punisher Helmet.  These are not cheap and I haven't seen another in Thailand so if anyone gets offered the helmet, sees it or has any information, I would appreciate it if you could contact me via PM here. There is a reward for information that leads to an arrest.

 

There is very little chance of catching the burglars but this helmet might just be their downfall.

 

The one in the photos in a the MK 2 but looks wise, its very similar to my MK1.

 

 

Sorry for your lose but usually they either paint  some of it new or add stickers to it so it won't be recognized or use it in some god forsaken part of Thailand no one ever will see it there...

It's worth a shot.  Or two.

Very cool looking helmet. I hope you get it and your items returned.

i'm looking already ......   reward   ?  

would would be the easiest and most distinguished part of the helmet .....  ( easy to recognize for confirm )

would it be the small chin air vents   ?   thanks. 

Sorry for your loss. Where are you located ?

Hope you get it back quickly

It's an HJC RPHA11 helmet, they come in various designs, and there are probably many of those helmets sold in Thailand, all have the same vents.

But the one from OP comes in a special color version, which is the distinguishable feature.

I don't think they are that bright - they also stole my security camera and don't seem to realise that its sending me their photos and videos.

I'm obviously no mod, so just my personal opinion:

Blur their faces, then it should be ok to post it.

If I blur their faces there wouldn't be any point in posting them.

But surely, you could take the video to the police. That might yield a result, especially if you tell them about a reward!

A reward usually works here.

When anything gets stolen on our development, I have managed to get it back (except cash).

I tell the police, security, gardeners, housekeepers etc etc that there is a reward. Works every time.

 

One time a guest lost a cat.

We found three!

Offer a reward to locals. Can sometimes work wonders. While a thousand or two thousand baht won't entice people on this board to look out for it, the same might bring results when offered to locals.

Plenty of the Punishers available in Thailand, Lazada's got them for one example.

I found it ... 

Lazada has plenty of them. 

Send the reward to my account asap.

They are £500 in the UK. If you want to trust your head with anything you buy on Lazada - that's your choice. You'd probably be safer with the usual Index rubbish.

Than it shouldn't be a problem to find /get the cops to get them.

Is this the papier mache version to reduce g-force when accelerating on a Honda Click?

Yeah, if the OP has insurance.

And I do, or I thought I had - as explained above.

I tracker?

Did they take anything else?

Spotting the helmet and actually detaining the thief are worlds apart. Thieves can be quite aggressive and antagonistic when confronted or cornered and, especially when high on meth, will not hesitate to round up the rest of the gang (10 vs you as per tradition here) to make you instantly regret playing the hero role for that reward.

The .reward is for information that leads to an arrest, note ARREST! I have not suggested that anyone do any 'detaining'!

 

Jeez, I make a simple post in an effort to catch the people who broke into my house and people turn it into a major controversy

Before signing a contract you have to read all, in particular what is excluded.

Just to make it absolutely clear, there is nothing in my policy, either the English language version or the Thai one, that excludes crash helmets or anything vaguely similar.  There is a list of what is included which ends in 'and other personal effects normally kept with the house' and a list of what's excluded - no helmets there.  In my opinion my helmet is covered in those 'personal effects'. No amount of reading of the policy would have alerted me to the fact that the helmet would not be insured and I am confident that the insurers will have to back down on this.

 

Their stance at the moment is that the helmet is not in what they call 'the definitive list' of things that are covered.  Well, given that said list only includes around 10 items, a hell of a lot of other things would also not be covered - hence, I'd guess, the author's INCLUSION of the phrase 'and other personal effects normally kept with the house', otherwise the 'definitive list' would have to run to several pages.
