This one goes out to the ass or asses that decided to steal both mine and my girlfriend’s motorcycle helmets on Wednesday afternoon.
We were hiking out around the Peggys Cove area. I decided for the first time not to “lock” the helmets to the bike. I made this decision thinking “Hey, I’m out of Dartmouth for the day and in the middle of nowhere, I think I could leave the helmets unlocked for an hour.” (Not that locking the helmets to the bike is a huge deterrent for thieves.)
What do we find when we get back to the bike? Both helmets gone.
You sir or madam or both are real assholes. The least you could have done was leave one so I could have driven home, but you decided to leave us stranded in butt fuck nowhere.

I always wondered why people would even steal helmets. I was always taught to never buy a used one…they degrade from natural use, let alone being dropped.
Sticky-fingered methamphibians are everywhere, OP. You can never relax your guard on your personal property. I’m not saying that’s how it ought to be; but that, sure as shootin’, is how it is. Be glad they didn’t vandalize your machine for good measure.
Hope your helmets turn up.
because they’re worth 50 bucks and up…
I mean how awesome is this?

I feel like ghostrider.
(note: the actual ghost rider… not shitty nicholas cage ghost rider)
Helmet thieves are like underwear thieves, they take them because the items are “used”.
Just ask MM. The dirtier the better, right Smeagol?
Only in Dartmouth you say,,,,,pity
nicholas cage was miscast for that role. I don’t know what drugs the casting people were on when they said “Hmm who can we cast? What about nicholas cage? Alright sounds good”. I don’t blame him entirely though…that script was shit. I don’t think any actor could have made that movie anything other than meh.
He had a few good roles, but mostly he is a terrible actor. Leaving Las Vegas was probably the best he will ever be able to do.
This one was worn by the chick in the American remake of “The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo” :

Of course, there is something to be said for looking like a Lego man:

Sorry to hear about your ordeal, OB. Very fucking low, indeed. (How DID you get home?) MOST riders know never to trust a used helmet and will not even consider buying one, but unfortunately, there are the few out there that just don’t give a shit. Especially if you are sporting a top-of-the-line, (read: expensive!) or customized brain bucket.
I was going to say something like, “I hope you get your helmets back” but, Lord only knows what this waste of skin did with/to your helmets. As much as this sucks, you’re probably safer just going and buying new ones, if you haven’t already. Hopefully, this piece of shit gets what’s coming to him.

I vote Lord Of War…
or The Weatherman.
Peaked at 2005.
raising arizona âś” and just for you baz http://hounddogsrunning.tumblr.com/page/12
In terms of sheer acting ability? Leaving Las Vegas all the way. That role was perfect for his over acting reactions and ability to seem completely desperate and crazy.
Lord of War was just a great movie in general.
I haven’t seen The Weatherman since it came out, but from what I remember he did a pretty decent job selling the role.
I watched maybe 10 minutes of raising arizona so I can’t comment on how he was.
That sucks, OB. Hopefully they show up on Kijiji, though that doesn’t help you with riding in the short term.

bringing out the dead and matchstick men were decent
Gone in 60 Seconds was ok, though I think ‘Eleanor’
was the biggest star of that movie.

The title of that movie is kind of appropriate for this bitch, too.
it’s nice when a bitch comes full circle.
weatherman was for him what cable guy was for jim carrey.
dark, funny, and I enjoy both.
Matchstick Men definitely.

moonstruck…i know i know, zedman. i liked the old man and the dogs
a cher movie?
*hangs head*
automatic chick flick.
that’s like saying spy kids 3D is your favorite sylvester stallone movie….
for shame!
west to Red Rock
No one has seen it.
cher was good in silkwood. stallone?, the only good movie was rocky and that was a love story. red rock west is a hidden gem
Stallone was passable in Cop Land
ooo, yes i enjoyed that movie, the supporting cast was awesome
well he is geared more towards the male populous…
but I’m guessing the ladies like assassins for Antonio Bancrappyass.
MAN, were they wrong about how the world would look like in Death Race 2000.
You hit a nun these days and you go straight to jail… not the top of the leader board.
Demolition man was pretty awesome… but I seriously hope they’re wrong about 2032.
meh, i have a thing for tim roth
Cop Land was very good. Cast wise it represented a quantum singularity where the Scorsese and Soprano universes intersected.
so many great actors. i kept going “hay that’s that guy”
I’m not surprised nobody has seen it Daniel. Because it is actually titled “Red Rock West”
Hey zZz, didn’t know that you’re a fan(boy)

Had mine stolen at crystal crescent one day. Rode to the nearest house sans helmet. Luckiy the old lady there had one in her shed to lend me. 1980’s CBC orange with no mask. Ate a few bugs that trip home.
Check Kijiji, they might be stupid enough to list. I’m not sure why you thought leaving the city would get you a better class of people, though. High traffic parking area plus little to nobody watching doesn’t scream security either.
Um, I think I found out who Zilla is….

OB…& others. I have a friend who was out peggy’s cove way, & after their hike down to the shore etc. they went back to her car & her drivers side door was unlocked… she immediately checked her car, her change was in place, her wallet was still in her dash, along with around 30 dollars, camera bag with its accessories etc…everything seemed fine & she simply told herself “I must have forgotten to lock my door” !
No she didn’t ! ! ! The thief who jimmied her locked door stole 1 credit card & maxed it out.
Just an FYI for you all.
damn… that blows.
that’s why a lot of people round here do the smart thing…
keep the credit cards maxed so it doesn’t matter if they get stolen.
I agree PG, Raising Arizona all the way. The rest are just poorly cast, tripe.
To the OB, there are signs all the major hiking spots (peggy’s cove, Duncans cove, Crystal Crescent, etc), stating that smash-n-grabs are more of a standard than an anomoly. Why would you think that it’s a good idea to test your honesty theory, where if someone stole your unlocked helmets it would leave you stranded? Here’s a little life lesson for ya; people will steal anything that isn’t nailed down.
A relative of mine who lives in Winnipeg is an Afghanistan vet,who left his medals in his van for months.Lastweek he had the driver’s side window smashed and the van ransacked but nothing was taken;he noticed his medals on the ground.He told me that wowed him especially in Winnipeg.
I’ve had someone break into my car and steal the 50 cents or so in pennies that were in my glove compartment. They also took a tube of lipstick. I was like ‘WTF?’
it almost makes you not want to lock your car just so they don’t cost you more than the $1.79 to replace what little shit they take.
