Bengaluru cab driver travels 150 km to return passenger’s lost phone

Since the ride was not booked through an app, he had no way of contacting the driver or tracing the vehicle. After reaching home, he tried to call his phone, but it had already been turned off. “I even tried using Samsung’s tracking service, but that’s ineffective when the phone is off. I also filed a lost item report, but I didn’t have much hope,” he wrote.

“It was the first time I had ever lost a phone, and I felt terrible,” he said.

After 15 hours, he received an unexpected email from Samsung stating that his phone had been located. The driver explained that he had travelled to Mysuru but promised to return the phone as soon as he got back to Bengaluru. The driver took a bus back to the passenger’s area and personally delivered the phone.

“As a token of appreciation, I offered him Rs 1,000 for his honesty. He was reluctant to accept it, but I insisted,” he wrote.
