Just like the title says, my relative was given an uber ride arranged by her mechanic yesterday, and left her items in the car. She didn’t realize it until she finalized the payment and pickup of her vehicle at the mechanic. The mechanic shop immediately called the driver through the app repeatedly but he never answered, and he still hasn’t over a day later.
From their conversation in the car, lives in a neighboring state and it seemed like he wasn’t in this area often but he had a drop off nearby before her ride. Since the transaction went through the mechanic she can’t put in a lost and found request or contact the driver herself. She is more than willing to pay the driver to bring her items back - does anyone have any suggestions for how she can contact them? Thanks in advance!

I have bought and sold on Mercari (but way more on Poshmark) and made my first purchase in a while this week. I got 2 pairs of shoes bundled. They arrived today and they were kind of squished into a box, both pairs crushed against each other. No packing materials were used at all inside. One was black, the other gray and the black dye rubbed onto the gray shoes. There are a few dark spots and they look dingy overall. They’re not *unwearable* and I honestly haven’t tried any fix yet since I know that can invalidate a return. But they were listed as new and I paid the price for new (I actually paid about $10 more for each pair than I just paid on the retailers site for a pair in brown because these two colors aren’t currently being sold). Wondering if I’m being reasonable to want a credit, and if a credit is even possible or if they would just have me return if I open a claim. Any tips on the claim for a credit would be appreciated too!
