Passengers caught stealing Uber driver’s tips while he’s distracted

A passenger was caught on camera stealing a handful of cash from a Uber driver’s tip jar. Two children, 8, dead after car crashes through wall of school The woman, who was sharing a taxi with two friends in New York, thought the driver wouldn’t realise when she slipped her hand into the box. But what she didn’t know was that she was being recorded by a camera pointing directly at passengers. Footage shows the group of women chatting with each other in the back of the cab.

The woman doesn’t seem to notice the tip jar until the end of the ride. As the car pulls to a stop and her friends jump out, she spots the tip jar, unknowingly looks directly at the camera and then puts her hand in the jar to grab a handful of notes. She then runs out of the car and disappears.

Uber said: ‘You may want to initiate a formal investigation via the police. ‘Uber will comply with any formal requests from law enforcement.’ It is unclear if the driver has been reunited with his money as of yet. An Uber spokesman told Metro.co.uk: ‘This behaviour has no place on Uber and the rider’s access to the app has been removed.’

So we got an attractive woman, wearing a bra, no top, walkin' around in broad daylight. She's flouting society's conventions! That's totally inappropriate. It's lewd, lascivious, salacious, outrageous!

I don’t use Uber, but why would anybody tip the driver?

“I don’t use Uber, but why would anybody tip the driver?”

Yeah, I thought you didn’t tip Uber drivers...

Maybe he was looking away when she tipped him, and she was just trying to take it back for a re-do.

White woman (who undoubtedly voted for Hillary and hates Trump) stealing from a black or Afro-Latino driver.

Unless she is transgender, born with a Y chromosome through no fault of her own, who needs the money for hormone treatments.

Now you can tip, but you’re supposed to use the tip feature built into the app.

Looks a bit “T” as in LGBT.

I use Uber, better than cabs.

There was an unspoken rule, 5 for 5. Tip the driver 5 dollars and they will give you a 5 Star rating on the Uber App. Drivers won’t pick you up if your rating is too low.

Maybe she needed the money for clothes?

When Uber started out, wasn’t it a no-tip ride?
