Micky,

The scooter does not belong to this kid. Before you spend a lot of time and
money fixing the scooter find the owner and get ownership of it. Finding
something does not make it yours once you reach the age of 10
If you can not find the VIN you may e-mail the manufacturer or their US
dealership. They'll know where the VINs are located.

it appears "Micky"
can't decide whether HE found the scooter:

"I found a small, gasoline-power scooter in the woods near my house
I called the police, and a car came prettyi quickly, and because it
doesn't have a VIN, the patroleman wasn't interested. i said, "Well,
even if doesn't have a VIN, I would think the owners want it back."
But he said if I didn't want it, they'd take it to a yard where it
woudl sit for months and if it didn't run, they'd junk it.

It doesn't run."

or, if the neighborhood *kid* found it:

"A neighbor kid found a scooter, a mini-bike, in the woods. He called
the police to report it, but and a patrol car came out soon after, but
the cop said that since it didn't have a VIN, they weren't really
interested, implied he could have it, and left without it. I offered
to help him fix it up."

I'm waiting for the THIRD version of the story (i.e., maybe the COP found
it??)

Or, maybe it's all a dream and there is NO scooter...
