Uber’s 50 most bizarre lost items list includes turtle, paternity test, ‘fake butt’
These lost items are uber weird.
Ride-share company Uber released the eighth annual Uber Lost & Found Index on Wednesday.
The report gives insights into the items that passengers left behind revealing the most common and most “unique” things riders forgot.
The list of most frequently forgotten belongings comprised of the typical leftovers — clothing, luggage, headphones, wallets, jewelry and phones — while the most unique list of lost items were anything but.
Among the requests were a frontal hair toupee, hot sauce and a breathalyzer, a “fart sensor,” a “much needed” leaf of an unidentified plant, two containers of live spiders and “expensive” blueberries.
Out of all the American cities that have Ubers shuttling people across town, people living in Miami were the most forgetful. Riders in Los Angeles, Atlanta and Houston trailed behind on the list, respectively.
Passengers typically report lost items between 9 p.m. and 10 p.m. — and especially on January 21st, the most forgetful day of the year, according to Uber.
Customers who believe they’ve lost an item in an Uber car can use the app’s “Find Lost Item” feature to reconnect them with their driver to aid the search.
Meanwhile, some absent-minded passengers weren’t worried about getting their items back, telling their Uber driver to accept “a nice cheese,” some tomatoes and leftover pasta as an additional tip.
