Check your states laws but alot of states allow scooters and mopeds to be parked on side walks and at bike racks, however you are not allowed to ride on the side walk, ever, so you need to push it those last few feet, this leads to scooter owners having the best parking spots and never paying for parking.
Some mopeds only had a fork lock, the draw back of this is that someone could start your moped but unless they wanted to ride around in a 6 foot circle or carry your moped away they were out of luck, most scooters however that have been made in the last 20 years have an ignition key switch as well as a fork lock, scooters like the Honda Metropolitan have a very complex lock that locks the center stand down, the fork locked to the side, the under seat storage locks closed while closing the helmet lock and this happens all with a single motion and turn of the key.
