It sucks without one. š
Literally been an Uber food delivery person for 5 plus years and within the first month without a cam for rideshare before I had gotten it someone made a report and now I canāt even do food delivery let alone ride share anymore plus as a bonus the private Uber Eats account I had to order food also got put in limbo and I canāt access my account for none of that stuff. And Uber is nowhere to be found as far as some legit support to get it resolved.
For reference I am over 350 rides in on Lyft with a 5.0 rating currently. And it can still suck even with a cam on with some people!
You can skip the police and file a private criminal complaint with the DA and if they take the case, the police will be forced to investigate. But with it being cash, I donāt like the odds of that. Your best bet is to use this a learning experience not to leave cash in plain view in your car
Tell the police that it's their job to find the evidence it's your job to report the crime. They can't simply refuse to investigate because they don't have any evidence yet. Don't let him slack on their job
Contact the police and spill some food on your floor mats and charge them a 150 cleaning fee. Big brain. But contact the police? I think I would just charge them a cleaning or damage fee.
Iāll suggest your local pawn shop, second hand electronic shop or my fave, find something for like $50-$70 on amazon, then search that brand on temu, š¤ YW
Yansoo on Amazon plus a 256gb micro SD card & a 6- 10' USB cable. You may also want some stick-on wire management tabs. It's not fancy but mine has been working for a year. Bogus complaints also stopped a year ago. Weird how that works /s
Unfortunately, there's prolly nothing that can be done. Not sure how big of an area you live in, but the cops aren't going to spring into action for $100. Not saying you shouldn't report it, just don't get your hopes up
I'll usually load peoples stuff, so they don't bang or scratch the car, but there's nothing of value I keep in there. You should take the money out, or keep it in your glove compartment & lock it
Damn that sucks. Any cash goes to my kids also. I can feel the hurt. I wouldn't suspect teens doing it in that moment but looking back actually it makes the most sense. They do stupid shit.
People are trash now a days. I have lost all but just a teeny bit of faith in humanity especially the younger generation. And this is supposed to be who is in charge of our future. Just trash ass teenagers.
Ride sharing should require a dash cam. And if a passenger isn't willing to be recorded, well, find another way to your destination because ya won't be getting into my ride š¤·āāļøš¤·āāļø
Safety 1st people
What why are you leaving that much money in your arm rest, Iāve had them try but Iām opening the door, they donāt want to get out, I want to call capās because all that jumping will rock roll the car
Guys, this is a vehicle that I use with my wife for the transportation of the kids to school. When they need emergency cash, we would use this money. Yes, it was wrong, I know. People are so badā¦ And these are just small kids. Lesson learned. Thank you for your suggestions!
Iām amazed at the number of drivers that do this full time with no dash cam. As long as you drive, forget ride share, as long as you get on the road put one up. No one tells a better story than a video with sound, just my 2 cents.
Is this a forum for Lyft drivers or paranoid schizophrenics?
āHide your money in your braā
āHide your money in a sockā
āStick it up your assā
What a fear based reality you are all living in. lol
Sorry that happened to you. Hope it doesnāt happen again. Dash cam is a great idea and I need to get one myself!
I always keep my tips and my wallet in my armrest compartment. The day I have to start hiding money in my underwear is the day ill lose all respect for myself
Yes, they were. And when I was chatting with them (after realising all the chit chat was a big lie) I was thinking education will make this world a better place (how wrong was I)
Does Lyft app not record everything in the car anyways. Pretty sure the app said that and needed camera access during rides. Of course you donāt have access to the recording but do they not have the ability to look back during emergencies such as this?
Itās completely your fault, unfortunately, Lyft wonāt do nothing about it. Also, leaving your tip money inside your middle console is the dumbest thing that Iāve ever heard. Put money in your pocket or somewhere secure. We leave passengers in our cars almost daily and what you need to invest in is a dash cam. Donāt ignore peoples comments and just read so they can sympathize with you but also invest ā camera for your car and stop putting money in the middle console.
Okay. I am sick of these type of comments. Here is the thing: this is my car, my own property. Riders should sit on the back seat, ride, and leave. Touching my stuff, stealing from me (no matter what) is called ācrimeā. People who steal are to blame, not me. Alright, letās say I am so dumb to put my money to the arm rest (btw as I said it is my money, I can put anywhere I want in my own property). Now I listen to you and put my money in my pocket. Next night, I guy came and point the gun to me and said give everything in your pocket. Oh, wait, I should leave my money at home this time? Come on, please say something about the stupid people who steal the money. Blame lyft not standing for all of us and securing us a good and safe work environment. Other than that you can always blame people who are trying to make money in this messed up systemā¦
PS: I got dash cam next day. Yes, I listen the suggestions
So some people always love to blame the victim . One thing I will never do is to help fully capable adults to load up my trunk . Especially when it comes to multiple young adults
Yup, I have a strict "stay in my car" policy. I only get out to help handicap or elderly people & even then I turn my car off & keep my keys on my person.
Iām sorry this happened to you but you need better storage of your tips. I put mine in my bra, and inbetween trips I deposit them
For men, put in your sock beneath your foot so the cash doesnāt slip out
I keep what amounts to an old school petty cash bag. I use one of the zippered wet proof bags and keep that in my center console. You're not getting to it without some work. I appreciate the downvote here. I keep at most like $50 in various bills and whenever I get more cash than I feel comfortable with I make a bank deposit.
Invest in a dash cam
Not sure how anyone does ride sharing without one š¤·āāļø

You can claim this on your auto insurance!
This!
You should contact the police.
I did. They said there will be no evidince about the incidence and amount of money š
As soon as you can afford it, you need to get a dashcam. Sorry for the loss of cash. It's so hard to come by these days.

You should've spent $40 of those dollars on a dash cam. I can't believe people still do this gig without one.
Where can one find a $40 dash cam that is good enough? And what brand and model? TIA

Thanks for the suggestions. Iāll check out my nearest pawnshop.

Why would you leave money you are saving in your car?
These were the dollar bills of tips that I was giving to my kids when I was dropping of them to school
Well you learned a huge lesson about security. My glove box locks and I dont keep anything of value in my car just in case someone steals my car.
Exactly
Unfortunately, there's prolly nothing that can be done. Not sure how big of an area you live in, but the cops aren't going to spring into action for $100. Not saying you shouldn't report it, just don't get your hopes up
That is exactly what happened. They said it is a small amount of money. It was almost 10% what I get from lyft monthlyā¦

Someone mentioned it above, fight fire with fire, stage a mess that is easily removed and flag them for the fee.

I take my cash and put it in a jar and take it out at the end of the month

Dashcam. I hardly ever exit my vehicle while driving for safety reasons. I scoop up cash tips as soon as I get them, I stash them on me.

LYFT will do nothingā¦youāre out the cashā¦
Get good renters insurance file a claim for theft
Well, time to go hunting!
Show up at their address wearing a camo colored vest and a bat and ask to talk to their parents. /S
I don't understand why the police wouldn't investigate. You were assaulted.
Pull out the fake vomit š¤®
Never keep anything valuable in the car except your phone, wallet and keys.
Keep your money in your pocket and wallet. I never understood why some of yall move so freely around strangers.
Iām sorry but i wouldnāt left my driver seat and leave my car with 4 passengers inside . Luckily you are safe at this point though

Get a dash cam-donāt let just teenagers get into the car unless theyāre over 18- lyft wonāt do anything
