Really? I don't think there's a single major European city that I'd leave a bike ( or scooter, if I had one) unsupervised.

I live in Bangalore and I don't think twice before leaving my scooter in any parking space in the city. I am sure there are such areas where I would be reluctant to do so, but certainly the majority of markets and commercial areas are absolutely fine.
Really? Amsterdam has literally millions of bikes left unsupervised. Paris is fine in the most parts. I'm fairly certain some German cities should be fine too.

A quick google search says that in Amsterdam there are 850k bikes and an (estimated) 50-80k bike thefts. Seems like a lot to me.
I could just be biased though, I've had my bike stolen while in Amsterdam.
I am curious where you live. It seems surprising that a city that's well-off enough to have scooter ride shares has a legitimate risk of theft of said scooters from public parkings.
