"Sometimes, if you sit at the back and forget your phone, the driver might not see it, but the next rider might see it and take it, while the driver is not aware. So not all drivers are thieves."

"I was coming home from work one time, and I forgot my phone in the Uber. I called two times, but there was no answer. I tried calling the third time, my driver picked up and told me he was on his way home, he was done working for the day 💔. I begged him and he came. I had 250 from my tips. I gave him all of them because that🥺 guy was going to Atlantis, and I stayed in Parow."
