The group went back to The lodge where I left my phone number today and they called me and brought to me to exchange. They were so intoxicated didn’t realize the mistake. Damn near impossible to believe but glad got my items back and they were apologetic and nice about the misunderstanding. Kudos to Pine View and taking my info and really making an effort to help. Good people.
I had a guy grab one of my buddy's helmets a few years ago, it was the same situation. The bar was packed
(Bikini & Radar Run weekend in St Germain) and getting from one side to the other was not the fastest, I caught the guy outside, he was staying on the property and was looking for his cabin. He argued for a bit and realized this was a different brand and type altogether. Other than the color being black they did not look close at all. Luckily not the inconvenience you had, but glad you got it back.
Here is the funny part, this guy was gone when he came in just after me. I was putting my helmet up on the shelf and he just throw his on the shelf, reaching over me. So I slid mine down a bit. My buddy then comes inside after I'm already at the table and put his helmet in between mine and this guy's helmet. When the guy came back inside, his response was he knew he put it next to this black, white, and orange helmet
(mine). So he remember my helmet but could not remember his own, even after putting it on his head.
I try to always have my stuff in view, between the helmet cost and the communicator's cost it would suck to have to replace it... But worse yet I need the 3 or 4XL helmet depending on the brand not many places carry them so it could make for a bad weekend on top of that and a cold ride back to wherever I'm staying.
