Yeah, when I find a car parked wrong (almost all) I key the paint. I have no incentive not to screw with them.

There is this guy who gets wrongfully parked cars towed by the police.

So just to be clear, I'd never do this! But people who feel quite entitled to destroy property (OP's example of moving is mild, many people brag about throwing them in rivers/trash, etc.) tend to also get extremely upset about some random person keying their car.

> OP's example of moving is mild

Moving a scooter that is parked in the middle of the sidewalk is more constructive than destructive, because it unblocks other taxpayers without destroying anything. The scooter is still functional and shiny, just not parked prominently anymore.

I've seen a scooter that was thrown on a car's windshield, but that's something else and definitely not mild.

> I move them over next to a garbage bin or put them onto the street since then they will be fined

Well it sounded to me the like the OP is not only attempting to harm the company but also unrelated third parties. A scooter in the street sounds much more dangerous besides.

It's always nice to spot a bad argument when someone is comparing a harmless action to a harmful one, since in my example only the end result was changed from not fining them when they should have been to actually fining them. These things are not allowed on sidewalks and the fine is the same for all vehicles regardless of type.
