These scooters are getting stolen left and right in San Francisco. I read the HN article last week about charging these (where they pay you to collect scooters and you charge them over night), so I recently signed up to become a charger for Bird scooters. When I first opened up the app to search for ones to charge it showed dozens of these things[1] that had gone missing in the Tenderloin. I went searching for some yesterday and after being unable to locate about 5 in a row, I saw two homeless guys dissecting one. The electronics were hanging out and they had screw drivers in hand. Of course I didn't confront them, and I went home empty handed. [1] Yesterday I counted ~33 that had gone missing in the Tenderloin within the past two weeks. To put this in perspective, there are only about 75 - 100 of them in the entirety of SF right now if you open up the Bird app.
