I know this isn't very helpful but there's a good chance the ring got dropped outside the vehicle.Or fell between the seats where it will be only found in the breakers yard.The next customer could have found it and not told the driver.Also If it's valuable it might be covered by your house insurance policy.It is a service they provide.

Don't think there is any such thing as an Nigerian Irishman

Irish, born in Nigeria?
If it doesn't have a roof sign and door stickers it's not a taxi.

I guess he could have taken it off to graphically emphasise the importance of the sacrament of marriage during a debate stemming from the current day significance of the Papal visit?

But then there are cynical racists people out there,
Who wouldn't have to much sympathy with the lady,
For reasons I dare to say.

A troll occurred to me also, looking for the racist (nah xenophobic) comments, and was duly obliged.
Trump has called for help, so I'm on a plane heading for The Strait of Hormuz, talk soon.

@ Tomjmor, if'n the ring hasn't been handed in yet the you can forget about it, unless you want to trawl eBay and all other second hand selling sites.

If'n your Female then just tell your husband/wife that you lost it, if it is a husband then he really won't care a whole lot.

If'n your a Male then replace it with an identical ring ASAP and if she/he/it notices it looks new, assuming that it is a She then tell her you just had it in to the jewelers be cleaned and that's why it was missing fer the last few days.
NEVER EVER tell her you lost it in a Taxi, there is only One reason a man takes off his wedding ring in a Taxi.
A replacement ring whatever it costs is money well spent as opposed to years of verbal grief !

I've lost a lot of weight over the past 18 months so the ring didn't fit as well as it did when I got married 6 years ago. Had been putting off getting it resized for ages.I think it came unstuck when I was digging in my pocket for my wallet in the back of the taxi. Thankfully, my wife is a lot more trusting than yours sounds to be.
