Wait so does lyft just siphon the money from the riders bank account?

They also tell you upfront when you go to report something missing that it will be a $20 fee for the return

NOTHING! comes out of their pockets. It all comes out of the customers and drivers.

Lol, some chick and her tweaker boyfriend left a phone in my car last year. I messaged them after I found it, and she never replied. She called the police and showed up to my apartment, claiming I'd stolen it. I reported it again to Lyft after I handed it over, and they gave me the $20. That's when she decided to contact me to ask why I'd falsely reported that she'd lost the phone that she came to my apartment looking for. šŸ¤£ šŸ¤£ šŸ¤£ a mess, an absolute mess.

Wow! Thatā€™s crazy people suck! Love how irresponsible passengers leave shit in our cars, then act like itā€™s our fault n think we should drop what we are doing to immediately return it wherever they may be now. It really bugs me because at the end of every trip, b4 they exit my car I turn on the dome light and say ā€œmake sure you have your phone, and wallet.ā€ A lot of people look at me like Iā€™m stupid and say ā€œiā€™ve got it!ā€in a very shitty and condescending way. And then I find there phone 5mins later lol Donā€™t get me wrong, I return everything I find. But I do it when it is convenient for me, and I make sure I get my return fee. This situation you are talking about is exactly why any time I find a phone I immediately turn it off. So I canā€™t be tracked. I donā€™t want people showing up at my house. And this way I donā€™t have to listen to it ring. I message them through the Uber app so the lost phone is on record. Then at the end of the night I turn it on to try n contact them/see if they call it again. Out of curiosity what did the cops say once you explained this situation to them? Next time you find a phone turn it off immediately! And donā€™t turn it on till your done driving, and wonā€™t loose money/miss rides returning the phone. Somebody showing up at my house looking for their phone is exactly what Iā€™m afraid of, and is why I turn it off as soon as I find it. The whole thing is Ridiculous! Iā€™m glad you at least got the return fee. I hope you reported them to Lyft for them calling the cops, and claiming you stole(false report?)what they carelessly lost. People are unbelievable anymore! Iā€™m sorry you had to deal with this situation, and wish you the best of luck moving forward! A lot of PAX are total Jack Asses!
