I am posting a belated 'upset' from Tuesday.
I lost my iphone 4. I left it in the back of a taxi. Not a private hire vehicle, with a company I could call, but a hackney carriage cab from the ranks.
I was pretty sure it must have slipped from my bag onto the taxi seat as I was getting out. I knew I'd had it on that journey because I'd sent a text to somebody.
Wednesday, I did a little googling and found that the taxi drivers are suposed to hand any lost property into the licensing department in town, within 48 hours of finding it. So, I phoned the licensing dept. Nobody had handed anything in. They took my details, time, place and destination of the taxi journey, and said they'd look into it.
Meanwhile I phoned my provider and discovered that my insurance doesn;t cover loss. And I am locked into a two year contract. Sure, they can send me a sim, and my monthly charge still covers texts and phone calls, but that's all.
So, I went checking online and resolved that if my phone doesn't show up, I'll have to buy a second hand i-phone 3. A step down, but there's no way I can justify spending enough to replace it like for like.
So, then I got a phone call from the licensing dept. The guy told me he was going to go and talk to the drivers at the rank. And would let me know if anything came of it.
..... Now let's jump to the happy thread
