    Hi, thanks for that but yes I've already tried that. The phone needs to be turned on for that App to work.
    I've heard its not great as it can be wiped off it too.
    I called the phone within a minute of leaving the taxi and it rang a few times until it was powered off. I didn't get his number all I know he wasn't Irish

    I have all my phones details serial no. etc its just if I block it now the phone will be disabled. I suppose the chances now are very slim so maybe im just best off disabling it, photos and personal details is all I really want back from it.

    I flagged him down at the side of the road, and from what some local taxi men told me, I doubt he was working for any taxi company.

    I tried the Garda station etc and rang the hotel in the hope he would of dropped it in there.

    I think its gone now :( not a happy camper

    Any chance there might have been some CCTV in the area - outside a bar, shop, etc. If there was you might be able to spot the car and see a reg number. The Gardai would then be able to contact the owner. I know its a long shot. Otherwise have a wander around the same area again this Saturday night and see if you can spot him.
