Is it fair to say by now, "WE'VE ALL DONE IT"?! At the very least left your keys, phone and or wallet/purse in a gosh darn ride share car! Ohhhh let the nightmare begin! I've been LUCKY the 1, 2 or 3 times it's happened to me, I had nice, helpful drivers help me get my stuff back. I even had a nice next passenger who was the one who found and ANSWERED my phone, thus helping me get it back even faster 🙂 Phones, wallets, keys...of course! But how about the folks who left behind a bucket of slime, a metal leg and a small tortoise?? Yep!
