Have you ever left your belongings, such as your smartphone or bag, in a taxi? However, since the taxi has already gotten off, you must be at a loss as to how to retrieve the lost item. So, if you read this article, we will summarize 5 ways to find lost items by courier so that you can surely get them back.
Due to the nature of my job, I often work overtime and the distance between my home and work is quite long, so the last train is often cut off when using public transportation. I have a car, but I often use the bus when I have a dinner, so I often take a taxi at dawn. In my sleepy and dreamy mind, I lost my smartphone and bag in a taxi more than 7 times in my memory. Of these, I was able to get it back exactly 5 times, and I couldn’t find it 2 times. If I had known all the ways to find lost items in a taxi in today’s article, I would have recovered the lost items I lost twice before. So, if you know it, it will be of great help when you find your lost item in a taxi someday, so please remember these 6 methods. 택시 분실물 찾기
How to Find Lost Items in a Taxi 좋은뉴스
1. Search by cash payment receipt
2. When paying by card, contact the customer center to find
3. Search at the lost and found center of the taxi association by region
4. When using a private taxi, find it at the Association
5. Search at the National Police Agency Lost and Found Center
1. Search by cash payment receipt
If you paid the taxi fare in cash and have the cash receipt, you can easily retrieve the lost item. If you check the cash receipt, it is because the vehicle number and phone number are displayed. So, as soon as you notice the loss, if you call the number on the receipt, you can talk to the taxi driver over the phone and get the lost item back.
To tell you about my experience at this time, if I find out that there is a lost item after connecting with the taxi driver, I will tell you to turn on the meter and come when the driver comes to my location. Personally, I’d like to pay a reward, but most taxi drivers refuse to pay. So, thinking of the trouble of bringing lost items, I tend to ask if you could always turn on the meter and come to my location. If you are in a remote area where it is difficult for a taxi driver to bring it to you, it would be a good idea to ask the driver to drop it off at a nearby police box.
2. When paying by card, contact the customer center to find
If you pay for a taxi with a card, you can easily find out the taxi number you took and the phone number of the taxi driver by contacting a company that supports taxi card payment services. At this time, there are only two companies that support taxi card payment services in Korea, T-money or Cashbee. So, contact the T-money or Cashbee customer center, enter the payment information, and then call the taxi driver’s contact number to retrieve the lost item.
T-money customer center phone number: 1644 – 1188
Cashbee customer center phone number: 1466 – 0006
