Research reveals that roughly 31,544 mobile phones have been left in New York Cabs in the last six months!

This makes for a very interesting read and the credit goes to the long list of forgetful, absent-minded people who left behind not just their phones but also laptops, iPods, memory sticks etc. Credant Technologies announced survey results that indicate passengers in New York’s Yellow Taxicabs have left behind an astounding 31,544 mobile phones and within a short span of just six months. The survey figures were based on 300 New York yellow licensed taxi drivers and extrapolated amongst 13,087 yellow licensed taxi cabs in Manhattan New York. In London the figures were based on interviews with 300 London licensed taxi drivers and then extrapolated amongst the number of licensed taxi cabs in London which is 21,729.

It’s a good thing that at least 80% cab drivers were kind enough to return the phones sometimes by handing them into their depots or personally contacting the owners themselves. Are you one of these fortunate forgetters?
