Forget your phone? Happens to the best of us. But what about a live turtle, a paternity test, or even a "fake butt"? These are just some of the incredible items riders have left behind in Uber cars over the past year, according to the company's 8th annual Lost & Found Index.
While the usual suspects like phones, wallets, and headphones topped the list, Uber drivers also encountered a treasure trove of the truly bizarre. Imagine finding a toupee, a jar of oysters, or a personalised blanket featuring a rider and their canine companion.
The animal kingdom was well represented, with a lost turtle and two containers of spiders. Foodies forgot everything from "expensive blueberries" to a tray of enticing meat pies. One particularly forgetful passenger even left behind a curious combination: undergarments, bread, ham, and mayo-the makings of a questionable late-night snack?
Lost items also offered a glimpse into the riders' lives. A Beyonce fan misplaced their foldable tribute, while another passenger left behind a playbill from the Spamalot musical. A hopeful romantic even managed to forget their significant other's "pregnancy pills."
More serious items included police-grade handcuffs, a grey tub of surgical implants, and a paternity test-a reminder that life unfolds in all its unexpected ways, even in the backseat of an Uber.
So, the next time you hail a ride, remember-you might just be sharing it with a future reality TV star who forgot their "fart sensor" or a WWE champion missing their championship belt. After all, in the world of Uber Lost & Found, anything is possible.
