Losing your belongings on the go can be irritating – especially if they’re valuable or sentimental.
Uber drivers are accustomed to items being left behind in their rides, some more unique than others.
The rideshare’s eighth annual Lost & Found Index, released on Wednesday, surveyed drivers for the most common and surprising possessions left in cars by their passengers.
The top 10 most forgotten items, in order, are clothing, luggage, headphones, wallets, jewelry, phones, cameras, tablets, books, laptops and vapes.
Meanwhile, Miami, Los Angeles, Atlanta, Houston and Dallas ranked as Uber’s top five most forgetful cities.
