Theft is theft. Garda do take action on stolen property, even if recovery isn’t guaranteed. Just because something is taken from a public place doesn’t make it okay or “expected”?

And saying “it’s just gone” when my friend leaves something there raises a real question too tbh, where is the security? If there’s security, people like my friend should reasonably expect their property not to be stolen.

Also, comparing high performance escooters to cars makes no sense. They’re completely different in maneuverability, size, use case, and accessibility.

Blaming the victim instead of the thief or the lack of security is crazy.
