hi mate sorry bout ure loss .

im a driver with same company and our drivers are on the whole genuine guys and im sure if he finds ure wallet he will hand it in.

however from experience the drivers dont actually check for lost property ie phones wallets etc after each fare i know i dont usually find stuff till next working day wen i clean the cab.

also as he prob had no idea that it was there u also have to take into account the possibility that one of his next customers couldve spotted it and thought BINGO .

hope u get it back m8 but if u dont it doesnt mean the driver has nicked it .

Lol, sticking together there! He never insinuated such a thing! In all truth, I've had a good relationship with all the 5s and I am sure if they find it you'll get it back. Saying that, like Rhys said, the chances of him finding it before a previous fare are very small. That's even if you lost it in the car and it didn't fall out as you got out.
