This is NYC where many like to boast that they remove their license plate so they can park on the sidewalk with impunity. I notice that those two scooters do not appear to be displaying license plates. Maybe that wasn't as good a plan as believed.

Brave soul. I'd be too terrified to try that without MASSIVE amounts of padding and packaging. Equal parts superstition and risk of shards.
Assuming they made the trip successfully...BRAVO!!!

Vehicles without plates are considered abandoned.
If the owner was "crafty" enough to remove the VIN # ID plate they will never get it back because there is no way to identify the vehicle.
Solution: Park legally.
