When you return something to a customer with Uber you always got $20 and pretty fast. Now if the customer does not hit a button saying they got it you do not get paid. How many times do you think it will take the driver of not getting paid to just throw it out the window. Uber does not trust us at all but we have to trust the customer is going to say they got it returned it's ridiculous. So once again it pisses us off now when customers are leaving stuff in Ubers and never getting them back it will piss them off as well. Uber does not trust us. We are the ones that should not trust them because they've never done anything trustworthy. Every day it's something new with this company.

I leave it on the counter at Walmart. I tell Uber nothing was left in my car 🤷🏾‍♀️🤷🏾‍♀️🤷🏾‍♀️
This is why the new policy exists.
Not really.

If you're going to go to a Walmart, park up, go inside and leave it, you might as well do the same at the local police station that's convenient to you.
That's what I do; the cops at the station close to me don't even make me fill in forms; they just take the items and it's done.
Anyway, with this new customer approval layer from Uber, I'm going to offer the pax local pickup from the police station where I live, which will obviously be free or, if they prefer personal delivery of their item back to them by me then I'll give them a price based on time, distance and effort. If they like my offer then great; if they don't then great.
I think it's important to try to get items back to pax as long as there is no pushback or friction from either the pax or Uber. Some pax' items left in my car have indeed ended up in the garbage, but only when the pax was a d-bag during the ride and they deserved karma to come a-knockin'.

I hate those stoopid questions! Does Uber expect me to ignore red lights? And one day, it made me take a picture after each ride. I felt like I was being accused of fraud and told them that they should suspend my account and investigate if they really thought I was committing fraud.

Passengers can avoid all of this. They have all the control on this issue.
Some rules for Pax;
1) Keep track of your own shit. I can't. I have all I can do to keep track of MY shit.
2) If you lose it, take responsibility for YOUR mistake. It's not my mistake.
3) Treat your driver (and people in general) with respect and common courtesy. They will like you, and people like to help people they like. The opposite is true, too. If you fire up a joint and pop a beer, put your feet on the back of the seat, and cuss out your driver ... she might not like you. What do you think will happen if you forget your phone back there?
4) Tip. Just a buck. I understand, times are tight for all of us, but is a buck going to change your life?

With Iphones, you can setup your 'find my phone' settings to work even if the phone is off.

... and it will take them RIGHT to the mail box I put it in, unless they wait and the mail gets picked up.
OR, the homeless guy that I gave it to. Makes it easy on him to ask for a reward.
"Uber drivers get HOW much for returning this to you? LoLoLoL.
It's worth a lot more than that, isn't it?"

I never got to use it but I used to have one of those photo film xray bags (lead lined pouch) that you could put a phone in to block any signal in or out).
It’s a great way to have the cops visit your house.

- The defendant took possession of someone else's property
- The property owner did not give the defendant permission to take the property
- At the time of the theft, the defendant had the intent to take it temporarily or permanently, and
- The defendant moved the property (appropriation) and kept it – even for a short period of time
Without possession of the item, or getting caught selling it good luck proving 3/4 things that need to be proven.
I don't toss lost and found items. I totally understand peopl wwho do.
These are probobly my top 2 hotspots I work the most. 21.8 miles and half an hour away. One is a major major hotspot the other is a transportation hub att the intersection of 2 major roads and minutes from the heart of downtown.
Uber seems to think a $20 return fee is enough to get an itm anywhere.
3/4 spots are places where the cab company I drivef or has staging locations for TAXIS. The 4th is just kinda a place I've gotten fares at that fills in the circle on that side of town.
So a complete lap of the service earea takes 2 hours. None of these 4 spots are classed as "out of town" either
I could load ffrom either airport and iin all reality only MOST of the fares will stay local to the ring. Some stuff is just past the ring but MOST fares sare in the ring.
Flat return fees are straight theft. Uber caused this.
The cab company has 4 ways of dealing wth lost and found. It's the customers discretiion.
1. Pay the meter to return the item. Sometimes I'll do it ffor less.
2. Turn in the item to the shop, the customer can pick it up for free.
3. Cust0mer pays for shipping. (The customer is sent a link to pay for shipping)
4. Customer abandons ownership.
All 4 options are the right option some of the time.
A few months bck a customer lost his kys on the ride to th airport. He didn'tt have tiime to clear securty again by the time he realized he lost them.
Cab company shipped them out the same day.
Tourist leaves theeir phon in the cab, They call it and I find it and run it back t them $30.
Local leveas their pphone in the car. I turn it in to the shop and the passnger retrieves it when they sober up.
#4. Passnger left this in the car. Rolled out of a bag or somethiing. 30 days later I got the can of peas when they rolled over. I cooked them up with dinner one night.
None of the 4 options leave me screwed over or motivate me to toss anything. if the passsenger is on a budget
But there's no flat rate return either. Because a flat rat return causes more problems than it solves because the person who devised it nevr had to interct drivers on any level.

All 4 would be easy to prove since the pax had to have the phone in the car.
