DH left his iPhone in a taxi one night. He phoned it repeatedly and the guy did answer, he also tracked it on find my phone and told the guy he was going to come and collect it. The guy obviously didn’t realise we could track the phones whereabouts and the guy went off and about at the arranged time to collect. The guy got a bit of a shock when DH started messaging the phone saying ‘why are you on x street when you said to meet at Y?’
He got it back. Good luck

Yes, another positive story here. I dropped the phone in a public car park. Some Angel found it and popped it into a nearby shop. Now I am super careful and the phone is in a tiny shoulder bag on my shoulders,

Can you track it?

Lots and lots of people are honest. Chances are the uber driver is too. Can you leave a message with a phone number on the phone. Has it battery left? Can you keep calling?

He was possibly working a really late one last night op, he might not have got in until 4/5am or he may be having a New Year’s Day family lunch or something.
At least you know he’s got it so you can get it back.
