"Only 15 days ago, I left my camera on a taxi in Hong Kong with the license plate number and driver's name. After reporting to the lost property hotline, there was no response. Are there other ways to get help?"

I’d be happy to help!

So, you lost your camera in a taxi in Hong Kong 15 days ago. You reported the incident to the Lost and Found service over the phone, but didn’t get any response.

Aside from contacting the police or filing an insurance claim (if applicable), here are some additional options to consider:

  1. Reach out to local online forums, social media groups, or expat communities in Hong Kong and share your story. Word-of-mouth can sometimes help recover lost items.
  2. Contact taxi companies operating in Hong Kong, such as City Cab, First Taxi, or Uber (if you used an ride-hailing app). They may have surveillance footage or be able to investigate the incident further.
  3. Visit major tourist information centers in Hong Kong and provide detailed descriptions of your camera, including any distinguishing features or marks.
  4. Advertise on social media platforms like Facebook Marketplace or local online classifieds, asking people if they found a camera matching the description.

Keep in mind that chances of recovering lost items can be slim, but it’s always worth trying to spread the word and cover all bases!
