Ride-sharing service Uber released its 10th annual Lost & Found Index, an accounting of the most common — and most unusual — items left behind by passengers.
The top 10 most “unique” items in the 10th Uber Lost & Found Index include dentures with only two teeth, breast milk, human hair, a Donny Osmond group picture, an ankle monitor, “420” donuts, George Washington hospital discharge papers, a sack of marbles, an oxygen tank and gold mouth grillz.
Other bizarre items making the list include a brand new mini fridge, a single red-bottom Louboutin heel, an electrical harness, a live fish, a mannequin, two trees, a cape with the statue of liberty on it, grass, a textured photo with a rhinestoned picture of Jesus, a portable thermal printer, a welding helmet, a toboggan, a police radio, pelvis implants, a package of live butterflies, a double door oven, a child’s prosthetic eye, a sleep apnea machine and a kitchen faucet.
Uber said the most commonly-forgotten items during the past year were phones, wallets, luggage, keys, headphones, clothing, passports, glasses, jewelry and laptops.
The “most forgetful” cities for Uber passengers were identified as New York, Miami, Chicago, San Francisco, Los Angeles, Washington, Dallas, Boston, Atlanta and Newark, N.J.
Sundays were identified as the “most forgetful” days of the week, while the most forgetful day overall was July 17.
This year’s index also looked back at the 10 most unique items left behind during the past decade, including a lost lobster in 2017, a tie between “my brother” and divorce papers in 2018, a salmon head in 2019, a lanyard that reads “virginity rocks” in 2020, a large painting of Kate Middleton in 2021, 500 grams of caviar in 2022, a live toy poodle in 2023, a fake butt in 2024, a taxidermied rabbit in 2025 and a 75-gallon fish tank in 2026.
