Helmets Stolen at Iguazu Falls
After almost 14 months and 33,000kms in Chile, Argentina and Paraguay we suffered our first theft in Argentina. We had recently purchased new Shoei Concepts in Australia along with a new Autocom but our security was not sufficient. At the parking area at the falls we locked the bike and cabled our helmets to the bike in a black plastic bag then chained the bike cover on as well. This was approximately 50 metres from the main entrance. A German couple with soft, tank bag luggage was parked opposite. From their information all was secure around 3.00pm.Their gear was not touched. We came out around 7.00pm and found the cover lifted and the cable, lock and helmets gone. Beware there is no security in this car park. We advise anyone travelling to this area to park the bike near the large entrance on the footpath. The park attendants were surprised we had not done this. Now we are having the fun of obtaining suitable replacements. The help from the HU Community has been tremendous however. Shoei Concept helmets and Autocom headsets are rare in Sth America so if anyone sees two white ones with HU stickers on them or perhaps a dodgy paint job on two let us know.
