Why was Ben Spies wearing Colin Edwards Helmet?

After the computer theft from the Aspar team garage that occured at Sepang, there was another small mystery in the paddock surrounding Ben Spies’ helmet.
The Texas Terror usually wears a HJC FC-15 lid, but on Thursday Spies was sporting on track an Arai RX-7 GP Colin Edwards Red helmet with the Arai logos blanked out.

The question is why was Elbowz wearing his teammate’s helmet? Did he forget his helmets at home, did the airline lose them, were they stolen like the Aspar computers? If anyone knows the answer to our question, please let us know, so we can rest easier.
