I’m loving how persistent some of these comments are about how Silicon Valley creates a “theft” issue with their own business model and the response is to throw the problem at the police to solve, who have actual real problems to deal with. There is no theft. If these companies don’t want those contractors doing that, don’t incentivize it or remove them from the platform. Then if they continue to interact with the scooters after being banned, then it’s probably theft. If these docked at a specific location, the case for “theft” might be an easier sell. But they are literally designed to be left ANYWHERE.
