Lost Property in a Black Cab
Hey everyone! My partner accidentally left her handbag in a cab on Friday night after a fun evening. We started off at Market House (which is a fantastic spot, by the way) and then headed to Zorba’s before taking a black cab home. We’ve already called both Market House and Zorba’s, and even went back to Zorba’s that night to check, but no luck finding it.
I’m about 90% sure it’s in the cab. Just a heads up, this “black” cab is actually white! Can anyone offer advice on how to track down lost items like this? I’m sure it happens to others too. Oh, and by the way, there’s nothing major in the bag—just some lip liner and keys—but getting a new fob will definitely be inconvenient. Thanks!
It sounds frustrating to lose your partner’s handbag! Here are some steps you can take to track it down:
Contact the Cab Company: If you remember the cab company you used, give them a call. Provide them with as many details as possible, such as the time of the ride, the pickup and drop-off locations, and a description of the driver if you can remember.
Use an App: If you booked the ride through a ridesharing app, check the app for a “lost item” feature. Many apps have a process for reporting lost items.
Report to Local Authorities: If the bag contains personal items, consider filing a report with local authorities. They can sometimes help track down lost items.
Social Media and Community Boards: Post in local community groups on social media. Someone may have found the bag or have information about it.
Follow Up: If you don’t hear back right away, don’t hesitate to follow up with the cab company. Persistence can pay off when it comes to lost property.
Best of luck, and hopefully, the bag turns up soon!
