Uber’s most bizarre forgotten items revealed from implants to live fish

  • Uber has released lists of bizarre, uncommon, and valuable items left behind by passengers, including an ankle monitor, a meat slicer, pelvis implants, and live fish, to mark the rideshare company's 10th anniversary.
  • Phones remain the most frequently forgotten item, with over one million left in vehicles since Uber's inception, highlighting a consistent trend in lost property.
  • New York City has been identified as America's most forgetful city, while July 17 was named the year's most forgetful day, potentially linked to Lady Gaga's 'Mayhem Ball' tour which began the night before.
  • Recent trends in forgotten items include collectible toys like Labubu dolls, Crocs, fitness gear such as pickleball paddles and protein powder, and various dental items ranging from veneers to full sets of dentures.
  • Uber has introduced a new feature in select markets allowing users to request a return trip directly through the app for found items, enabling them to track the delivery of their belongings back to a specified address.
