Claudia Cortis Brown, 38, had parked her Piaggio Fly scooter near her home on Wallis Parade in North Bondi, in Sydney’s eastern suburbs.

A North Bondi resident was left furious after his scooter was moved and placed next to a caravan (pictured) on an eastern Sydney street.
Ms Brown could have been at risk of being fined as the scooter was left double parked next to the van.
The 38-year-old, who has lived in the area for years, slammed the move as “the most selfish and ridiculous thing” she has ever seen.
His scooter, which has been moved several times, is often the target of motorists who do not live in the area, who try to find parking spaces for which they do not have to pay.
“People have to pay to park here and it’s expensive, but you can park for free on this street,” Ms Brown said. yahoo.
Claudia Cortis Brown (pictured) said her scooter had been repeatedly attacked by motorists, who had attempted to move the bike by force on several previous occasions.
“For that reason, I think it might be someone not from the neighborhood.”
Ms Brown said it 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 cars to pass, they had to avoid the scooter,” he said.
A spokesperson for Waverly Council told Daily Mail Australia that scooters can be parked in a spot where a car is allowed to use an empty parking space.
Ms Brown could have risked a fine because the scooter was left double parked next to a white caravan (pictured).
“A scooter cannot share the space of a car where individual spaces are designated by lines,” the spokesperson said.
“Vehicles (cars or otherwise) cannot legally double park next to another vehicle.”
Motorists are not permitted to double park on New South Wales roads and those caught committing the offense will be fined $302 under Rule 189 of the Road Rules Act 2014.
