i'm curious if an NPC, namely any shopkeeper, would put it on if reversed pick pocketed into their inventory?
i plan to test it later tonight when i get home, but i'm wondering if any thieves out there have tried it with any success? would be kind of funny to see the shop keep with it on while looting all their goods then taking it back when done.

I suspect we can since we can see with a Falmer helmet on.
