We're sure it's falling objects, and not some space-saving local playing the long game?

Someone parked it perpendicular to the wind-tunnel direction across from the Fed.

I saw it start rocking back and forth in the wind gusts, and it tumbled before I got to it.

Oops.

I walked past as the owner was pushing it up. I thought someone didn't like it at the bike rack.

Do you know how fast the wind has to be in order for it to tip over a motor scooter? What about a bicycle?
I want to hear this one.

It was difficult to walk, I'll say that much.

It was square to the wind and it may not have been kickstanded properly, either, as it was on a brick sidewalk.

Does not take much at all to blow over a kickstanded bicycle. The bikes at the same rack were all blown into whatever pile that their locks would allow.

The upper limbs shear off in these conditions and can easily be lethal.
