Thank you for tipping...I'm not saying that's me, but I know a lot of other drivers would not return a lost item...I know a cab driver, basically the same thing as an Uber driver, who used to collect used cell phones if they were the same a his so he had charged back up batteries all day long (he just talked on the phone all day long)....I return all things, even if the customer didn't tip me which has happened quite a bit ! The thing is people are scum bags and real cheap now a days and don't care about the drivers...We have to deal with a lot...I go out of my way a lot to provide excellent service and still get nothing...People are cold and don't care about the driver...They may say "thanks, appreciate it", but they truly don't mean it...I can't count the number of times people said " they would tip me on the app", and they never do.....
All I am saying is if you lose something and you don't tip, don't expect to get it back..If it's my ride then yes you will.
