The scooter return process typically involves taking a picture of where the scooter is parked. If it gets a parking ticket and the picture shows that the renter parked it illegally, I imagine the fine does get passed along to the renter. Unlike cars, it's very easy for vandals to move a scooter without renting it, e.g. by picking it up. I've seen scooters thrown into bodies of water and inside fenced areas. Most jurisdictions require the owners to remove them from such locations in a timely manner.
