Scooter driver slams selfish stranger over unbelievable parking act at North Bondi
A frustrated scooter rider has been left fuming after a motorist moved her bike which she had parked on the pavement.
Claudia Cortis Brown, 38, had parked her Piaggio Fly scooter at her home on Wallis Parade in North Bondi, in Sydney’s eastern suburbs.
She returned to her bike to find it missing where she had left it before discovering it had been moved next to a camper.
A motorist had previously moved the scooter and taken up the free space with his own car.

Ms Brown was at risk of being fined because the scooter was double-parked next to the van.
The 38-year-old woman, who has lived in the area for years, branded the move as the “most selfishly ridiculous thing” she had ever seen.
She said her scooter, which has been moved several times, is often targeted by drivers who don’t live in the area, looking for parking spots they don’t have to pay for.
“People have to pay to park here and it’s expensive, but you can park for free on this street,” Ms Brown said. Yahoo.

“That’s why I think it could be someone who isn’t from around here.”
Ms Brown said this was the worst act anyone had committed on her scooter, which she said was forcibly removed by someone else when she locked the bike after it was parked.
“It was difficult for the cars passing by, they had to avoid the scooter,” she said.
A Waverly Council spokesperson told Daily Mail Australia that scooters can be parked where a car is allowed to use an empty parking space.
