Maybe they are experiencing really high levels of theft and are desperate to do something to stem the loss?

  An actual thief is probably going to laugh and roll their eyes at the idea that the police will respond to an automated 911 call from a scooter left on the sidewalk.

    Isn't it the case, in SF, that police do not even respond to actual automobile break-ins when their very owners call to request police aid? If a smashed window + stolen laptop (total loss: ~$2,500) can't convince the SF police to lift a finger, I doubt a scooter (~$400) will. Sad situation all around.

      I agree, they would never respond to such a call. Moreover if it actually flooded the dispatch with calls they would probably be in big trouble. I am sure it is an empty threat.

  Maybe they shouldn't litter them on random sidewalks then.
