Stolen Headband

I left my sweaty headband on my bike while it was locked outside for half and hour. When I got back, it was gone. ***? Who would steal a sweaty headband???
OK, for full disclosure, it was a RAPHA headband, but still, i wouldn't touch another person's sweaty, stinking, headband!

Did you leave it locked up on J-town? We Japanese have some strange fetishes...

Could it have blown away?

Perhaps The Baumer needed a replacement?

My takeaway here is that someone may think Etu is a schoolgirl.

Don't leave anything on your bike in sf. I get empty smart water bottles stolen off my bike (presumably for the recycling $).

I stopped carrying normal sport top bottles because of constant theft.

Many years back I finished a hot humid charity ride century. Put the bike and jersey in the van and went to the shower trailer. Had my bibs taken while I was showering. Granted we had the local pro football team as a sponsor, and the shorts were cool looking. But still, salt stained sweaty bibs?
