Call the police. Show them your phone location.

I had doubts that the police would do anything with that information, would they actually just go and ask? Also seemed drastic to me when Lyft hasn't even gotten a response back yet, I'm not a karen but did at least think I'd get a confirmation that the driver was aware and would look for it when they can :P

You can usually order from your computer as well if you just google for the url

People are weird. You'd think they'd want to clear up that situation fast -- risking their ability to drive for Lyft doesn't seem worth it for a phone that IIRC can be flagged to brick itself remotely if marked stolen. I can see if the driver was stupid and gave it to a friend to sell before thinking it through, they might be in a bit of a pickle and not willing to pick up the phone.

Are you sure it's at the driver's house and not at some 3rd party?
JonAugust1010 OP t1_iuiv537 wrote
I am sure I left the phone in their car, can't say whether another rider took it or if it's still like under the seat or something. I've watched it move around, it stays at this residential area in Mattapan for long periods and is driving around to various suburban areas like Chelsea, over to cambridge, down to Hyde Park otherwise -- makes me think its still in the lyft.

I expected lyft to tell me that they'd definitely make contact, but they are seemingly telling me that since they aren't getting a response there's nothing more they can do. I would've thought they'd be able to call someone who works for them.

That makes sense. Good luck!

Ring it and see if anyone answers

The website is requiring 2-step verification with my phone, can't access my account at all, unfortunately, or I'd be able to contact the driver myself.

Actually going isn't so much the issue as once I get to the street all I'd be able to do is look around and try to find the right car, then knock on doors of the nearby houses and ask everyone if they lyfted me downtown yesterday morning

The Lyft location is in Medford. You can go there and ask. It may already be there

Once the driver parks, you can usually find their phone number and look up their full name. Then go to the car/address.

I'm over in Brighton. I'd take a lyft to them if I could order it, I know where they live now -- Happy Halloween!
