Left camera in "cab" from Epcot to All Star Sports...

[lizfromfl]

I'm not sure if this is the right board to ask this question but I was hoping someone might have an idea that might help.

I went on a weekend trip to WDW with some friends. Sunday night we went to Epcot and as we were leaving my friends dd
started feeling sick to her stomach. The line for the bus back to the All Star was very long (and we were worried about her stomach giving out on a crowded bus so we decided to take a cab back to the hotel.

Once we arrived at the hotel we were in such a rush to get her to the room that we left their camera bag (and all of the film we took on our trip) in the cab. Unfortunately they had no ID in the bag so the driver would have no way of returning the camera. We have checked with Epcot, Disney lost and found, and the All Star Resorts and the camera has not been turned in.

The "cab" we took was waiting in the area between the first set of Disney resort bus stops and the second set of Disney resport bus stops but was just a 2 tone blue astrovan with a "Taxi" sign on top of the roof.

Does anyone know if Disney regulates the "taxi's" that go to the parks or maintains a list or something so we could try to locate the driver with how to reach us. At this point we don't even care about the camera we just want our film back :-(

Thanks for any advice that you might have.

There's an outside chance if you contact Bell Services at Sports they might remember the cab company that uses that type of Astrovan. Then you could contact that company and recover the camera and films if they were turned into their lost and found.

Thanks, Andy. I took your advice and talked to Bell Services. They said that it sounded like a "gypsy" cab since there was no company identified and therefore it is very unlikely that we will be able to locate the driver.

Oh how I wish we just took one of the "yellow" cabs so we could at least know who to contact...

Too bad about that Liz. I'll keep you in the back of my mind when I'm at Disney in a couple of weeks. If I spot a van like this I'll see if I can get a name of the company off it's side. In the mean time why not try calling Bell Services at a few other Disney resorts in case they have an idea about which company the cab is??

Thanks again, Andrew. I called a few more places but still had no luck... I hope you have a great trip in a few weeks and if you notice a 2 tone blue astrovan with a white sign with green lettering on top of the roof that says TAXI...I hope you'll think of me
