Title says most of it. Spin electric scooters exited the Seattle market and abandoned their scooters all over the city and apparently they have a pi 4 in them!

Can you just take apart abandoned things for parts in the states? Probably just have to be a white male and no problems?

Probably, who is gonna come after you? The company has decided it is too expensive to repossess them.

in Germany it would count as theft and destroying of property of others even if it's abandoned.

Technically it’s theft in the US too, but the owner doesn’t exist anymore so no one’s going after you (assuming cops don’t see you)

What oppressed society do you live in where an item abandoned in the streets isn't fair game? Does your realm not know the law of "finders keepers"??

Back in the day when we used to be able to just leave our bikes anywhere around town and expect them to still be there, the one token black kid got accused by an adult I didn't know of stealing my essentially abandoned bike that I told him he could borrow and what it looked like and where I left it. That kinda just stuck with me for the rest of my life. It also clearly stuck with some of the other kids because a bunch of them kept saying shit about Tyrone stealing my bike and that wasn't even his name...
