Cycles of life

Here’s a story waiting to be told. A couple of weeks ago, I came across this dead motor scooter on the sidewalk.

How it got there, I have no clue, but it obviously was not going to go anywhere with some of its innards removed.

Then, it got knocked down by person or persons unknown.

And then someone moved it to the street—no telling why.

It’s been there ever since. Clearly Fairfax County PD do not bother with abandoned vehicles, as witnessed by this one, about a quarter-mile up the street. This one's been there for more than a year, with expired tags for ditto.
