What nonsense is this? A license plate affects ownership law? The scooters can be individually identified too.

The point was that leaving a vehicle in a parking space is not an indicator of abandonment because ownership of a vehicle is based on registration, not physical possession. The same is not true of scooters, and that makes all the difference.

Registration is for tracking ownership, paperwork that is filed up to a month after ownership changes. It doesn't create ownership.
