Ned Kelly was a braggart, a thief and a remorseless murderer, who attempted to justify his actions by pretending that he was fighting for the rights of Irish Catholics (who were at the time being repressed by the English colonial authorities in Australia) and other groups.
In reality, he could care less about those people, he just wanted notoriety and fame, and that required a "cause" that would condone his violent acts and allow him to become a celebrity.
I despise the reverence and adoration that modern-day Australians heap upon Ned Kelly - why should we be celebrating this killer when there were many other people who genuinely tried to help the repressed groups AND managed to do so without murdering people?
OT as someone else said, that USB plug does not do a very good job of replicating Kelly's helmet, which features a horizontal eye slit (and not two eye holes).
The Cobra Tag may help you win that losing battle, acting as a Bluetooth device that attaches to your key ring and connects to your phone, it gives you the opportunity to find the missing item if it's less than 30 feet away.
