Towing a car is not the same as stealing a car. If someone parks illegally you are not suddenly allowed to smash the window and take it for a joy ride. Even simpler, I'm not allowed to tow anyone else's car that has parked illegally.

I don't agree with Bird's practices, but that doesn't give anyone some moral right to steal their scooters.

No, but the municipality might be allowed to "steal" it. I was playing a bit of devils advocate in the previous comment.

However I've seen reckless towing destroy cars and they will hold your car until you pay up and not pay for the damages. It's a fine line.
