In a recent incident in Taipei City, a man's safety helmet was stolen while he was at work in a barbershop in Zhongzheng District. The thief was caught on surveillance cameras stealing the helmet and giving it to a female passenger on his motorcycle. The thief's motive was to help his sick female coworker by giving her a ride home, but he resorted to theft due to the lack of an extra helmet. While his actions did not violate traffic laws, he was charged with theft by the police. This incident serves as a reminder that opportunistic theft is a criminal offense and highlights the importance of securely storing valuables to prevent loss.
