Somebody hit my scoot or pushed it over today outside of the Mebane Wal-mart. I came outside after finishing my shopping only to find my scooter laying on its side. I parked in the yellow mess of lines near the handicapped parking, and chained it to a pole there, so it could've been someone in a car or someone on foot, I don't really know, but the only damage I can find is a break in the trim plastic below the passenger footrest, where it hit the ground when it fell over, and the scuff from what looks like being pushed across the pavement a little.
I don't really know what happened, and although there were at least 5 people that said, "I saw your scooter laying on the ground," they sure didn't see anyone do it!
At least they didn't slash my tires this time.
My old Piaggio NRG extreme was deliberately pushed onto the ground in front of the office where I worked in 2002. Tupperware was cracked and scratched, I have managed to glue it back and repaint. On two different occasions they stole rear view mirrors.
The same Piaggio was hand carried approx. 300 m from the place where it was parked, probably to be loaded onto a truck and stolen later that day, but I managed to find it before the plan worked.
Around year 2000 they dismantled and threw into the nearby trashcan rear view mirrors of my ex. Kymco Cobra Cross 50.
Left rear view mirror was stolen once.
The other Piaggio NRG mc2 was stolen in front of my sleeping room and found 2 months later in pieces. Miraculously, nothing was missing and 2 months later it was assembled back, even better than it was before.
Somebody pushed Agility 50 and leaned it to the wall, leaving a few scratches that I managed to polish.
Finally, two years ago I have encountered a few Gypsies (pack leader + 2-3 youngsters) while they were loading my ex. Piaggio Beverly 200 to the truck. This is when things became physical (but not in Barry White sense).
So, consider yourself lucky.
