No, it is of course a shitty thing to do to steal a scooter. What I am saying is that this is an unreasonable way for police to behave. See my other comment in this thread.

With regards to this being a deterrent to other thieves, how? The police didn't let anyone know they were doing it and didn't let anyone know after the fact, the only reason anyone knows about it is that an investigative reporter dug it up.
