  This one cool trick rideshare companies don’t want you to know.

  spoiler

  Its a joke, the penalty for destroying or stealing one is -100, but you get +1 for every ride, and your score can go over 100. In reality the company probably calls the cops if you lock it in your garage and won’t give it back or something.

    there was a story about someone kidnapping all the scooters and piling them up in one parking lot, cops were called

    i think it was in the Seattle area. In my town, we have a river running through the central space and so many of these scooters end up in the river

    when I was a trouble making boy, we’d steal bikes and build ramps to jump into the river on the bikes, they lower the river for a few months every year and it was always a good laugh to see how many bikes were piled up in our favorite spots

    my hometown is full of deviants, so I’m never surprised about seeing that kind of behavior

    my cameras are always catching some young person looking for trouble, taking one to know one I make sure to keep everything valuable out of sight and behind locks

      Everyone hates those fucking things. Always blocking the sidewalk and nearly getting run over every fucking block. It is everyone’s civic duty to throw them in the fucking river if presented the opportunity.

        Part of that is anti-social behavior as a response to living in America, but also if people aren’t parking them correctly, there’s not enough parking room. If people are riding on sidewalks, there’s not enough divided bike lane.

        Here in Nanning, during rush hour, theres places where 2-lane wide bike paths are completely packed with hundreds of mopeds per minute, much more than the 5 lane car road next to it can transport.

        I’d be against it, but our river is already a massive PCB wasteland from the papermill and other industry dumping.

        all jokes aside, don’t throw shit in the waterways

      No it does not take one to know one, you can also just know about vandalist boys anyway

  “Steal to keep”: It’s the new “rent to own”.
