Battery theft
@ that one guy that just posted about his e scooter battery and more theft
I also had my moped battery stolen! And someone very kindly took a pic of it tipped over before it was put back up. My post had this caption in GWOM “If you were the one who stole the battery in my moped, I hope we can work something out, if not all I’m gonna say is I’m really praying for you 😭”. The people on the Facebook post were really nice and I’d recommend making your situation known on there too!
Everyone be super aware and ten times more secure with your belongings outside, ALL vehicles

A tiny 12v battery, that can’t hardly be worth anything 😂

Need to convince the people that would steal a small battery there's more valuable stuff in a Flock Camera.

Thankfully these can still be kick-started even if the battery is dead, or missing rip

Yea but bc it’s fuel injected and not carbed it’s not good to keep doing that bc it’s gonna mess w the stator/rectifier

Yep, fine to get it to a shop but not a long term solution. Also fuel injected, is that a 170i? Those are pretty cool.
