Taxi drivers, What Do You Do To Forgotten Items When You Can't Trace The Owner? by Ikwerelastborn(op): 7:02pm On Sep 10, 2021
Sometimes passengers can forget their phones and other items in your car.For the phone it is easier to call a number there in in the call logs.Also,items with verifiable identity like id cards ,ATM cards etc that contain names can somehow be traced or given to the nearest bank.What about items like a wallet or purse with money and no means of identification, what do you do in this instance ?

Cc lalasticlala mynd44 front page
They connected using the app and phone number now. So that isn’t so hard doing

If it is a random “pick and go”, I don’t know what I can say about it. I would have suggested police station, but the items are safer with the boys at the motor park than with the men in the police station

Money without any means of identification??

Deposit the money in your account if after one month you can't trace the owner.. Use the money for business anytime you find the owner you pay back..see it as a loan in disguise..

Phone has IMEI. That's a Greek gift.....there are security implications....don't set someone up for a case that can turn very bad

Even if there's a case over that phone in time to come ..its something I'll easily pay ..its just a stupid tecno with cracked screen ..tecno pop or whatever they call it

Anyone that uses that phone becomes an involuntary subject of pattern of life analysis by investigators. In return for a phone that is not worth 100,000.00 Naira he/she hands over a ton of information about himself/herself that would otherwise remain unknown for a phone of dubious heritage with the ever present danger of being connected to crime and subjected to the rigors of an adversarial legal system and with little to no chance of wriggling out.

If you must make money from that phone, sell it with a strict instruction "For Parts Only!".

A word is enough for the wise.

You cannot love someone and gift them trouble!
