Today's scooter schadenfreude.

Vigilantes Are Taking Scooters Off the Streets of San Diego and Bird and Lime Are Pissed.

"A company in San Diego co-founded by a former Marine has been scooping up the abandoned scooters that litter city streets owned by the startups Bird and Lime for months, giving some of them back to Bird in November in exchange for more than $40,000. Bird and Lime have since called the company’s activities “ransom,” and a legal battle has begun."

Yep. These companies are just vaporizing money.
