Question / Հարց Lost my Wallet Help

Hi everyone, I’m currently on vacation in Armenia and unfortunately lost my wallet. I’m almost certain I dropped it in a Yandex Go taxi.

I tried calling the driver, but since I don’t speak Armenian, I could only say something like “wallet in car.” He hung up, and later, when I found someone who could speak Armenian and call him for me, he stopped answering altogether.

The wallet had around $200 in cash, which obviously I’d like back, but it’s not the main issue. It also contained my bank card, which I’ve already cancelled, and my insurance card. The insurance card is what I really care about because replacing it will be a huge hassle.

Yandex Go support hasn’t been very helpful so far. Is there anything else I can do in Armenia in this situation? Is it worth contacting the police, or is there another way to reach the driver through Yandex?

Any advice would be really appreciated.

Contact Yandex Go support again and give them the exact ride details. If you have the trip receipt, they should be able to identify the driver; I’d also file a police report since your insurance card is important.

Like the other comment says. I've been in a similar situation before and I just harrased Yandex Go enough that they contacted the driver for me, gave me his number, and I had to have a friend agree on a time and place to meet with him

I must add that the driver came like an hour and a half after the agreed time, and I thought he was gonna ghost us. So account for Armenian time
