If you leave your phone in an uber

 Some do's and don'ts for if you leave a phone in an Uber in Brazil:

• Don't use Uber's "have the driver call you" option - if your phone is in the Uber, you can't take the call, even if they try to call, which they won't.
• Don't enter your wife's number after selecting Uber's "driver didn't call me back" option - its a foreign number, they won't be able to call it, even if they try, which they won't.
• Don't use Uber's "someone else left something, please contact this number" option, even if you have a Brazilian number to enter because no one will call. Just forget about handling this through Uber.
• Do find the phone using whatever "track my phone" app is available.
• Do use the app to turn off all the functionality for the phone. It will make you feel better.
• Don't keep calling the phone, its on silent, nobody is going to hear it, and watching the battery deplete will stress you out.
• Don't go the the drivers house, even if you see the phone stop in a residential area for the night.   You are in Brazil, cars and residences are locked behind gates and nothing good is going to come of creeping around the neighborhoods at night.
• Do put a personalized message on the dial pad so when the phone wakes up, it shows your message ("MAGNUS, Whatsapp Carol [## #### ####] $$$$! 😁👍🙌".)
• Do use the 5-minute ring option to turn the sound on, show the message, and make the phone ring for five minutes or until someone pushes a button to stop it.
• Don't be surprised 36 seconds into the ringing when the ringing stops. Soon, the driver will contact you through Whatsapp and you can work out how to have the phone returned.
• Do tip the driver!
