I bought a Xiaomi model for $400 at Walmart, cut a QR code off an Amazon package and taped it over the power button. I left it out in the open next to the bird scooters in LA wherever I went and lasted about 6 months before somebody scooped it up. I assume the rest of the time people tried to scan the QR code and assumed the app wasn't working. :)
- jtwaleson 4y agoI am confused. It got stolen in the end? Did you try to avoid it getting stolen with the sticker?
- tppiotrowski 4y agoYes. It got stolen in the end but for 6 months I just left it unlocked on the sidewalks of LA under the guise that it was a Bird scooter. It might have actually been accidentally scooped up by a charging truck but I'll never know.
- jtwaleson 4y agoAre you happy with the outcome? I think there are better ways to avoid it getting stolen :D
