WINONA, Minn. – Spring is here. The Bird rental scooters are out on Winona streets again – and again they’re being stolen and dumped way, way out of their usual GPS-tracking range. This first theft of the new season ended in Wisconsin. The scooter was heard pinging submerged up Doelle Road not far from then Trempealeau River hamlet of Dodge. Last year several Winona scooters were abandoned around Dodge, leading investigators to pursue a Dodge connection. But then a scoter showed up dumped roadside near Lewiston in central Winona County.
