Can anyone say what the common source of the impounding of these scooters is landlords, parking enforcement, business owners? Couldn't any "dockless" transportation device technically be considered abandoned once a user get's off of it leaves it where it lies? In the absence of having agreements with the local municipality could this be a fatal flaw in the business model? It seems like there could be an "incentivized" marketplace for the proactive impounding and subsequent auctioning of these no?
