Same happened to me in NYC. Never saw that phone again. This was the original iPhone and the novelty of them were high at the time people in NYC were still standing in long lines to get them.
Fortunately for me my boss felt guilty about it since he stayed in the cab to get dropped off at another location and didn't answer his BB when I called him about it, so he paid for the replacement.

my wife lost one in NYC before we moved - fell out of her purse when gathering luggage after an interview. She borrowed a cell from a stranger at the airport to call me (probably helps she's an attractive girl and not a creepy guy).
1. told me the name of the hotel that called her a cab.
2. i called the hotel, got the name of the cab co.
3. called the cab company, told her she lost it, and asked if it had been reported.
4. the driver reported a lost iphone.
5. texted contact name and info of local friends coming to pick it up.
5. had local friends pick it up from the cab co.
6. iphone showed up in the mail in a week.do it. sooner than later.
- (that should read "car" company - not cab.... not sure how you pin down a specific cab.bulletfactory
- they keep track of what cab goes where..that's how the cab company gets a piece of the pie.dbloc

I suspended the service right when I began this thread. It won't accept calls or get on the network.

ok, so the NYC yellow cabs have this site made exactly for this, and you type in all these details about when and where you were picked up and dropped off and what you lost...I filled it out and have my fingers crossed...fuck.

I am just kidding, sorry about your story bro. Not even insurance would help you here as due diligence wasn't there...
It it helps, the carrier's coverage sucks, I have no signal in half of my apartment and I am taking it back.

Also if the cabbie didn't find it but the next riders did, then they might be honest and will get it back to you if they know who you are. Call your own # and see if someone answers.
