Cab drivers across the world are used to their customers forgetting their belongings inside the car since they are in a hurry, but this time, the bag forgotten inside an Uber cab could have cost an entire fortune to the traveler who misplaced it.

An NRI from Switzerland was in Greater Noida to attend a wedding and was travelling in an Uber cab, carrying a big bag. He was left helpless when he realized that he had forgotten his bag inside the car, which contained a large amount of expensive jewelry.

The jewelry inside the bag was worth Rs 1 crore, according to the Uttar Pradesh police who helped the Switzerland NRI recover the bag from the Uber cab driver. The NRI boarded a Uber cab from Gurugram and reached his hotel in Greater Noida.
