2long Posted March 25 Share Posted March 25 Last night my mate left his wallet in a taxi to his hotel. Hotel CCTV can't identify the taxi. If the taxi driver is a good honest guy and tries to return it but doesn't know who lost it, maybe he will take it to a local police station.... but local to where? Is there a national database or helpline where lost and found can be accessed? Thanks in advance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post CharlieH Posted March 25 Popular Post Share Posted March 25 Have you contacted the report line for Taxis ? They may be able to broadcast and maybe he'll respond. You can report to the Land Transportation Department using the hotline number: 1584. Worth a try 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Captain Monday Posted March 25 Share Posted March 25 It happens to many people. Nearly every time I am in BKK I am approached by a well dressed Western man who lost a wallet and "just need a few hundred baht" for bus or taxi fare.

Crossy Posted March 25 Share Posted March 25 My ex-boss was a habitual loser of phones and wallets, invariably in taxis after a night out. He kept a card with his contact details in his wallet and had his contact details on his phone lock-screen. Never got one back! @2long I hope your mate gets his things back and didn't have too much critical stuff in his wallet. EDIT Yes, he was bright enough that the contact phone number listed was his condo. reception. But only after someone pointed out that calling the number on his phone screen made the phone ring 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dolf Posted March 25 Share Posted March 25 How do you lose a wallet in a taxi though? You take it out to pay, you put back in pocket then get out. I always check wallet and phone before getting out. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
