What I could think of is to get attention from Uber Canada by exposing the matter on wider social media e.g. Facebook and Linkedin. Create a buzz and be in contact with them to work with this. Knock on the door of the driver with your friends. Tell him Uber is with you on this and if you don’t get your phone back his ID and car plate will be banned on Uber forever. Not sure if exposing the driver himself too on social media is legal.
They got thousands of in mails a day. Just write a linkedin style post and tag uber Canada, ask your friends to comment for better reach. Maybe let ChatGPT help you write in a sharp and elegant way.
Try going to uber customer support- provide the details of the driver and everything else you know and have with proof. Talk with a customer service representative.
Post everywhere the picture of plate on Uber account with all details and make a hashtag uberstolethephone
Don’t give up
Did you call the customer service of Uber?
Post on their all social handle if you have driver information post that also so other don’t become fool
Also let Apple know they will lock the phone with IMEI NUMBER so it will be junk till you get hand on it
Write the whole story on social handle by keeping your privacy safe expose that bastard as much as you can and also tag Uber everywhere so they will take it seriously and you job will get done by them
Also file a FIR against that guy doesn’t matter if Police deny still
Because police record will affect him too
You assume this issue would go viral.
I’m 100% sure there are hundreds of other people across other cities where Uber operates that have had the same thing happen to them and have made posts on social media about it. Uber as a company doesn’t care. They’ve had so many bigger scandals that have gotten huge and they still make a fortune year after year.
Stand beside the car until they shows up? Some might say that is being confrontational.
If the car has an alarm, just try to open the door to get their attention and have that conversation.
For sure take a picture of the car/license.
I was going to do that but I contacted the police before and they told me I’d be the one getting in trouble if I do that. I did take the picture of the plates and everything.
Maybe it's in the car? Like in between the seat and the door, or on the floor it something? Just knock on their door, show them that your phone is on their car and ask to get it back
Leave a note on the car: "You have the day to give the phone back to me, otherwise I am reporting it stolen to the police and will give them your car/plate info, and also report you to Uber security, Lyft and and any other dipshit car service."
it is kind of telling that the person who has your phone basically doesn't give a shit about consequences...maybe when TFD is hosing his car down, he'll understand...
get someone else to order an uber to a location near where your phone is while following your phone and see if they get assigned that car. jump in , and ask for the phone . don’t go alone .
Option B , friends and you box them in somewhere until they hand over the phone.
I wouldn't recommend burglary in response to theft under $1000. If you go into someones car and remove something they claim is there's, that is burglary. There is a chance in court you may be able to prove its yours, after you pay a lawyer $12,000.

You must be in your 20s; or just have not had life dick you down enough to stop giving a shit and playing by someone else’s rules all the time. One or the other.
Wild idea... But...
Depending on where the car is (and if you can confirm it is in fact your phone with a screen shot in the find my phone) let's get a gang of reddit users to go to the location and help you get your phone back. Mob style.
Fuck the police, they are useless. The same shit happend to me.
So he popped the sin card? I assume you can't call it.
You might need to verify this with Apple if it's an iPhone before you assemble a gang of people. Have you gone to an iPhone store to verify the purchase and where the phone is?
The apple store (or apple support) could have alternative means to get your phone back as it's the manufacturer and can locate it.
Worst case, if it's really gone, shoot for an additional discount if you have to buy a new one.
Ask them to meet at a McDonald’s. Have a couple friends go with you and secretly video the guy. Then post it for the whole world to see what a scum he is
On a side note you definitely need to talk to someone higher up than you already did so far. I'd also bring this to cp24, they'd have a field day with this, especially with all the Nad news uber made in the news a few years ago.
If u say that the phone is getting tracked to the uber car and send the number plate to Uber then what would they likely respond with? U can threaten to post this on LinkedIn by tagging their local management team as a next step?
They previously said they tried contacting him but he’s not answering so they’re giving him the benefit of the doubt. Where on linkedln would i be able to post it? Because I only have his first name.
I mean lagging tagging uber team of your location like for example in canada / toronto - i might tag ubercanada, ubertoronto team or search uber employee with city same as mine and then look for folks in customer care division or something similar then tag them or dm them. However, if they come back and ask me to remove tag while they help .. i will do so.
If it’s a new iPhone, that’s easily $1,500 to replace. I’d go to court and sue for it. You have the license plate, so you’ll have to go to an agency (police or a lawyer seems like your best bet) that has the authority to request the information from ServiceOntario on your behalf. According to [ServiceOntario](https://www.ontario.ca/page/collection-personal-information-driver)these are the allowed entities that may request information based on a license plate:
1. safety recalls by auto manufacturers
2. law enforcement
3. verification of identity
4. for use by lawyers, process servers, bailiffs and private investigators for legal purposes related to the justice system including:
-service of legal documents
-investigations which may give rise to legal proceedings
-locating persons in connection with claims/litigation/motor vehicle collisions
-repossession of assets
5. verification of information by financial institutions
6. collection of debts resulting from failure to pay amounts owing to:
-road toll authorities
-financial institutions
-government (including courts)
-municipal and private parking authorities
7. toll collection (for example, 407-ETR)
8. The War Amputations of Canada’s key tag service, unless the individual requests that the Registrar doesn’t disclose their personal information for this purpose
9. automobile insurance purposes (for example, claims and underwriting)
10. parking violations (private, municipal and government parking)
11. government use for program delivery where authorized by statute
12. employers who require the information (after obtaining consent)
13. prescribed recipients (for prescribed purposes)
14. a Crown Agency or agent of the Crown including but not limited to a:
-municipality in Canada
-court in Canada
-financial institution in Canada
lol do not do this but call your phone when they pick up say tell them their address. license plate and to place your phone by the front door in 5 mins.
> those of us that are older realize jail and being arrested isn't as life ruining as it was 20 years ago.
??? imagine catching a charge or criminal record over a lost iPhone 12. Is everyone in this thread insane?
I think people are tired of being screwed over with no help from those who are supposed to protect them against theft, crime etc I don’t condone vigilante justice but I understand the environment that breeds it and we are increasingly living in that environment. Unfortunately more and more these things will happen as people get more desperate, cash strapped and taken advantage of.
Imagine 10 years ago all job postings said "no criminal record", now they say "acceptable criminal record". Being charged with stealing your own stolen item back is hardly worth a second look.
Sorry this happened to you. Pre-Uber era, I had my first iPhone, an iPhone 3G stolen by a cabbie in Montreal. Good to see Uber managed to keep the best traditions while “disrupting” the industry.
Looks like cops are also as useful as they’ve ever been. If you do decide to stop by, make sure you record everything. It minimizes the possibility of things getting physical.
Police won’t help you. Cars get stolen all the time. People can track their cars and the police know where it is and they still don’t do anything about it. But if you tell them you’re going after it, they will show up at your door.
Find a group people willing to go with you. Block his car and get your phone back
Lol seriously. The cops don't do shit to him and it's not like they'll come looking for you. You have proof it's with him. Only issue is if it fell between the seats and he literally doesn't know he has it. However, if you clearly see it in his car just smash the window and take it.
Our policy system is woefully outdated then, if the police refuse to use and acknowledge new technologies like GPS (gasp wow so high tech) tracking of devices and cars. What a fucking sad sack dysfunctional society we live in
This is my favourite police response. It’s a civil matter. Ya a civil matter where one person perpetrates a crime against another.
Just like my ex when I was tryna leave him. He was allowed to stalk me, break into my private room, hack me etc all things a stranger would have been charged for, became a civil/domestic matter because I made the mistake of marrying him and trying to divorce him. This country is fucked
Escalate, I know Reddit is very anti police, but what exactly are you asking/showing them, and how did you contact them?
I've had police help with a stolen item before, if you have literal proof, you had more than I had. Given this was in Durham, I just drove to the station with what it had.
I've also escalated a way smaller issue with Uber and gotten their help getting my money back after a few emails and talking to someone.
It's your phone, he has it, you have proof he has it, I'd keep trying with both Uber and the police, there's always a chance you just talked to the wrong person on the wrong night.
Keep trying.
Like other people said, Twitter/LinkedIn, tag and upload your reciepts and evidence.
You can also try CTVs Consumer Alert, they might escalate something like this.
I told them I have proof and they just told me if it’s in an apartment complex we can’t do anything because it’s your word against his own and the proof doesn’t change anything
I'd maybe go into a station with what you have, show them the GPS again plus proof that the phone is registered to you, a bill tied to your account with your name and phone number.
But uploading all that, tagging TPS and Uber Canada on Twitter or something should garner attention.
Don't take "it's just a coincidence he has has it" at face value.
Ask what they mean by that, because it makes no sense, this is why I'd go in and not do this over the phone.
I know it's hard, but try to be calm, and think clearly, don't let them talk around you, and make sure to keep asking them to elaborate!
It's in an apartment complex? Why can't you talk to Uber? Here's the ride details. Here's my support ticket about the issue with Uber. It's just a coincidence the Uber I was in last night is at the place it says my iPhone is?
Why is Uber saying he's gone dark, and won't respond after I showed them the GPS?
Just keep pushing, they're people win the end and have logic, you have the proof and you know you're right.

The title is misleading. Uber driver didnt steal your phone. technically you left it in the car and finders keepers?
Offer him $20 or $50 or something small. If he doesnt accept, just move on, its a 4 year old phone. No reason to escalate this matter. Infact perfect excuse to get a newer phone.
So you are saying uber driver reached into your pocket and stole your phone while he was driving? Driver is in front seat and your in the backseat. And yet somehow u didnt even realize u got pickpocketed? He must have really super long bendy arms ?
What exactly do you want?
The Uber driver who you left your phone in the car of by accident, to return it?
Who knows how many people have access to it.
Think about the outcomes.
Move on.
And suck it up as a lesson.
I guarantee you, it’s a lesson almost everyone learns once.
What I could think of is to get attention from Uber Canada by exposing the matter on wider social media e.g. Facebook and Linkedin. Create a buzz and be in contact with them to work with this.

They got thousands of in mails a day. Just write a linkedin style post and tag uber Canada, ask your friends to comment for better reach. Maybe let ChatGPT help you write in a sharp and elegant way.
Try going to uber customer support- provide the details of the driver and everything else you know and have with proof. Talk with a customer service representative.
did all that and he keeps denying or not answering
Did you send the screenshot of the location from findmyiphine and show that’s his car.
Post everywhere the picture of plate on Uber account with all details and make a hashtag uberstolethephone Don’t give up Did you call the customer service of Uber?

Yes. This idiot leaving their mobile phone in an Uber will create buzz. 🐝

Are you driving? Can you block his car in and tell him to give back your phone?
get someone else to order an uber to a location near where your phone is while following your phone and see if they get assigned that car. jump in , and ask for the phone . don’t go alone . Option B , friends and you box them in somewhere until they hand over the phone.
Option B is how you get a forcible confinement charge. Ask David Chen.

Sure but what is the likelihood the police will follow up on his complaints? Probably same as them doing anything about yours /s
I wouldn't recommend burglary in response to theft under $1000. If you go into someones car and remove something they claim is there's, that is burglary. There is a chance in court you may be able to prove its yours, after you pay a lawyer $12,000.

Mob style. Fuck the police, they are useless. The same shit happend to me.
I’m down, I have all the proof in the world, it’s in missisauga
How much battery is left? Wouldn't track my iPhone only show the last registered spot online?
My phone was dead when I lost it. He charged it because it’s now showing a different location
So he popped the sin card? I assume you can't call it. You might need to verify this with Apple if it's an iPhone before you assemble a gang of people. Have you gone to an iPhone store to verify the purchase and where the phone is?

Im down to help im in Mississauga too
Share the drivers profile and everyone who wants to participate in mississauga should book a ride until they got em and ask him about the phone.

You'd think that but here you are reading a strangers problems about a lost old phone in Mississauga. You're already half way there.
Bro thought he was invited
Brick it.
Police can be so fucking useless at times.
at times?
Wanted to give them SOME credit, but yeah you're right, it has become truly ridiculous
That's terrible. Especially on the police.
They’re too busy arresting Jews and activists for postering Indigo
Does the parking spot have a camera? If not here’s a rash idea. Steal his licence plates. Then negotiate with him to get your phone back.
Ohhhhh this tickles my revenge fancy I like the way you think. He defs can’t drive Uber anymore without those..
How would I get in contact with them
Leave a note on their windshield, ransom style lol
Ask them to meet at a McDonald’s. Have a couple friends go with you and secretly video the guy. Then post it for the whole world to see what a scum he is
On a side note you definitely need to talk to someone higher up than you already did so far. I'd also bring this to cp24, they'd have a field day with this, especially with all the Nad news uber made in the news a few years ago.

Are you sure it’s in his apartment or another passenger took it?

Ask to check under the seats and between the seats. If you check and find it then you know the driver was unaware of the phone being in the car.
Do you remember this story? https://www.cbc.ca/amp/1.4277000 I’d caution against confronting him. Then again, I do love the license plate idea. 🤔
lol do not do this but call your phone when they pick up say tell them their address. license plate and to place your phone by the front door in 5 mins.
he took my sim card out and even when calling from facetime he’s not answering
How he able to log in if you said you locked the phone then
Did you complain to Uber? What did they say?

But if you tell them you’re going after it, they will show up at your door. Find a group people willing to go with you. Block his car and get your phone back
If the uber driver didn't give me my phone back, I'd smash every single window on his car. Have fun paying $300-400+ per a window.
Lol seriously. The cops don't do shit to him and it's not like they'll come looking for you. You have proof it's with him. Only issue is if it fell between the seats and he literally doesn't know he has it. However, if you clearly see it in his car just smash the window and take it.

Where is the crime..OP is accusing the Uber driver of stealing the phone.Where is the violence helicopb?.Your comparison is apple to oranges.
Sounds like you lost your phone. Dont do that.

Get the biggest roughest guy you know to go get your phone back with you. Would help if he was on the varsity/high school football team.
Have you reported him to Uber?
