1960boy Posted August 28, 2009 Share Posted August 28, 2009 Have you rang your phone?Did you get the taxi from the Midland station? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TylerXIII Posted August 28, 2009 Share Posted August 28, 2009 call your phone operator and report it as lost, or you could send a txt to your phone in the hope that someone reads it and wants to return it, but don't hold much hope of ever seeing it again, unfortunately a lot of taxi drivers would just flog it on (not all mind you) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Idler Posted August 28, 2009 Share Posted August 28, 2009 I did this a while back. Called the number, cabbie called me back and brought back the phone. I gave him a tenner for his trouble. Everyone was happy I think! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

samstyles Posted August 28, 2009 Share Posted August 28, 2009 The taxi cabs are usually one man bands, so there is no central number as such. I try and make a mental number of the cab number every time, in fact if I get in alone at night I send it MMS to a friend! If you had that you could ring the town hall who issue the licenses and they might help. Only constructive idea I can think of is to go to the same place you found him same time tomorrow and see if he's there or if other drivers recognise his description.

simonj Posted August 28, 2009 Share Posted August 28, 2009 My son lost his new Nokia XpressMusic phone late one night in a 7 seater private minicab in Skeggie. He knows he had it in the taxi as he phoned his girlfriend on the journey (confirmed later on). He put it in his pocket but heard and felt it when it bounced off his foot onto the floor when it fell out. The combination of darkness and alcohol meant he couldn't find it and, not surprisingly nor could the taxi driver when they stopped Despite my sons protests the driver claimed he hadn't got time to search any more and drove off. I rang the firm the following day to get them to search for it again but they still 'couldn't find it'. Both my son and I were convinced that the driver 'lifted' it but there was no way we could ever prove it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lomaxkinesis Posted August 29, 2009 Share Posted August 29, 2009 If you lost the phone in a taxi. As long as some one who got in taxi afterwards, did not pocket it. Generally drivers drop stuff off at West Bar Police Station Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

top4718 Posted August 29, 2009 Share Posted August 29, 2009 I lost a phone in a taxi in Barcelona, rang it and the driver answered. Even though he spoke very little English he bought it back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
