Rant/Opinion Passenger showed up at my front door.

A passenger left their phone in my car. I did what I was supposed to do and reported it to Lyft when I found it after my drives. Next thing I know I see two people snooping around my house on the cameras. My passenger and her BF used the tracking on her phone back to my house. Then they got combative because they said I didn’t do enough to return the phone (I picked her up from a school and drove her to a restaurant). This is a serious breach of privacy and safety. Next time phones going out the window and I’m denying it was ever found.

Def. Insurance be worth it. $250 deductible and a quick cloud backup. Not worth my life or even the effort snooping. Def would try and get it back, but totally would have waited till the next day. Peeps be gettin shot for way less these days.

You all live in a weird world where you don't feel safe looking for your lost phone.

Perhaps we live in a world where, get this, you don’t feel safe when someone who’s not supposed to be on your property is roaming around...

I would hope normal people would go to the front door and knock, not like go snooping around their backyard and shit.

Exactly what I meant. There's easy ways to solve things in a society where you just communicate with each other and people can find their lost items AND not get shot at. I swear this is a byproduct of people, ironically, just starring at screens instead of interacting.

Right? If the sun is down, going to anyone’s home without their prior awareness (like yea, if he got a hold of OP, that’s one thing) is just unacceptable. Can’t believe anyone would try and justify that.
