Cabby must have taken my dad's phone

About online vigilantism, brought up by noelleyong, is actually quite a wide subject to cover...I shall try to built up some point may be during CNY holiday...  Anyway, we just got a new stomp post yesterday that I can relate to about this subject. For this post I shall focus on this issue first before getting into the subject.

"My dad's lost handphone must be taken by this cabby who owes loansharks money"

When I read that post, I was wondering whether if the poster is immature, naive or childish, or is it stomp changed some of the words?

First s/she said his/her dad misplaced the phone in the cabby at 5:45pm
When s/he contacted transcab, s/she was asked for car license plate number, boarding and drop off time. In the post s/he said "who would remember this?"

Well, first of all s/he know at least 5:45pm. Of course best would be to ask for receipt which many people do not bother unless you are traveling under course of duty and claimable form company. What ever it is, the seeker should provide all the information. Only with the information, taxi operator lost and found personal can dispatch the message to narrow down the search. With the information like pick up point and droop off point, time of boarding and drop off. Only then taxi drivers would notice if it his cab have possibility of such case. They are driving, they have to focus on the road. Imagine, if all the cab receive the message, "Please check for a mobile phone in hello bag". All the trans cabs have to stop by road side and check?

s/he further highlighted that "The main point is that if your customer lost something in the taxi you are in responsible." This is where the whole world become upside down. Everyone in the right mind know that they are responsible for their own belongings.

s/he accused that taxi driver must have taken the mobile phone based on the tele-conversation of taxi driver which appear to be talking to loan shark about repaying of his loan. In the eyes law, everyone is innocent till proven guilty. We are not sure how true is it about the taxi driver owning money to taxi driver. Since the stomper says that the phone is in hello bag and anyone can notice. So why not the next passenger who board the cab?

s/he is seeking public to keep a look out and check if any driver holding on Samsumg Omia II and saying that he just bought it. So does mean taxi driver afford to buy and Samsumg Omia II? Is it a discrimination?

Just to share my experience, I take cab on almost everyday basics. I forgot my things a few times in cab. Fortunately I got them all back. Of course, I keep the receipt and lost and found personal could reach the exact taxi. I am grateful about it and have no regret even if I could not retrieve them because I myself to be blame for it whatever the reason that occupied my mind at the time of drop off. No excuse.

Is it the nature of that person to point finger or lose the ability to think due to greed, disappointment, anger or whatever reason. But one thing for sure SOME people tend to lose ability to think when faced with such situation and can't get over easily.
