So someone knocked over my blur 220i

Post by Bjc617 »

I live in a highly populated area, So last night as i was walking down the street to my house i said what if my scooter is tipped over, and might behold as i got closer it was. Scooter was knocked over from the sidewalk into the street. had a cover on it rear wheel locked disc lock and steering wheel locked. No scratches mirrors where intact only thing was the plastic on the dashboard was going over the other plastic which i fixed by unscrewing it. Anything i can do to prevent this from happened i been parking scooters in the same spot for about three years and never had a issue until now

That sucks! Did you report it to the cops as vandalism? Take pictures? Maybe put up a poster asking for information "to corroborate the video evidence". It might not gather any more information, but might provide a few nights restless sleep for the perpetrator. If it was me, I'd stake it out and get some evidence of my own.

It sucks that people have such little regard for others' possessions nowadays. Do you have the option of parking it away from the street and sidewalk? You can make an effective ground anchor for about $15 if you own your own place or get permission from your landlord.

It sounds like the damage was pretty minimal, so that's not too bad. AND you've already got the first scratch out of the way so you can ride without worrying about it from hear on out. That could actually be a positive. :D
