What I'm wondering is how quickly this thread can get onto page 5. It's nearly as long as some build threads! And the mystery only gets deeper. The fact that we are 4 pages deep with this saga and I am not a part of it is amazing.

People are mad that we park em at bike racks. Look around if there are any CCTVs in the area and do a little foot work and it may pay off. otherwise, treat it like a bicycle and lock to firmly cemented pole. For the work we put in, scoots are too darned easy to steal.

the slash is from a knife with a 35-45 degree bevel.. box cutter or some punk that used a tanto blade. my other hobby is making knifes/axes. I know those cuts anywhere.. based on the separation of the tear, I'm betting it was a box cutter. the unevenness of the tear demonstrates the perpetrator had to use a sawing motion to get through and considering most of our tires are nylon ply and the lack of smoothness along the horizontal edge of a box cutter blade.. it was, a box cutter. Evidence, the uneven cut along the black edges toward the center. they had to use a slashing motion to cause that.. 3-4 swipes or so. Also, as someone else mentioned, those tires are not new. the little bumpies on the sidewalls take at least 500 miles to fully wear off via cornering. The center bumpies wear off much sooner, naturally and is a condition of conditioning ourselves to a tire. I was a road bike racer for 15 years and went upwards of 55mph and have a fair basis for comparison to that fact. Those tires have at least 2000 miles of wear. no one will believe you, unless you do the Lincoln penny test and post photos. www.youtube.com/watch?v=HXbxbMUZUsE The treatwear is equal to low profile tires on cars.

Another thing to take into account, when I press the Slash from inside out I can see white strings that been cut. Also the Slash on the outside is wider then on the slash on the inside. As like a blade tip is thin and as the blade goes down it gets wider.

Since it is cut clear through it would be a knife blade. The lack of scuff marks on the outside indicate a very thin blade. The ragged cut would indicate a weak hand holding the blade that had to 'work' it through. Look for young local miscreants.

I’m betting some “share the road” bicyclist that also ignores all traffic laws.
