R&B singer Roberta Flack lived out every New Yorker's nightmare when she left her suitcase in the back of a cab. The suitcase contained CDs with over a years worth of her work, including new tracks for a Beatles cover project. According to City Room, she immediately called 311, who apparently weren't very helpful at all! "I called 311 and got really no decent response,” said Flack. “They connected to me to some people who hung up on me. I said, I’m going down to the Taxi and Limousine Commission before they close."
She arrived at TLC headquarters a few minutes before they closed, and luckily they were able to track down the cab from the medallion number on her receipt. When the cab arrived, it still had her suitcase in the back. Unlike with 311, she called her dealings with the TLC "a very pleasant experience."
