Boing Boing should crowdfund some money to convert a bunch of scooters and give them away outside Bird HQ.

  That would actually be illegal. EDIT: Missed that you can buy them from impound lots - that would be legal. Converting one you found on the street would not.

    Why? Assuming the scooters are being bought at auction from impound lots like the article says.

      Ah, I didn't realize that the scooters can be legally obtained from an impound lot. Very clever!

    No, it wouldn't. It would be illegal to steal scooters for that (or any other, because theft) purpose, but a central part of the discussion and the original story is that they are available at police auction because they keep getting seized.

    Are the actual scooters worth the effort?
