Uber presented its third annual Lost & Found Index – a snapshot of our riders’ most commonly lost and most surprising forgotten items.

Over the last year, the 10 most commonly forgotten items were phones, cameras, wallets, keys, purses (backpacks), clothing, glasses, headphones, vapes (e-cigs), and IDs (licenses). Moreover, there were also some unique lost items, like:

The best way to retrieve a lost item is to call the driver – but if you leave your phone itself in an Uber, you can login to your account on a computer. Here’s what Uber recommends to do:

  1. Tap “Your Trips” and select the trip where you left something;
  2. Tap “I lost an item”;
  3. Tap “Contact driver about a lost item”;
  4. Scroll down and enter the phone number you would like to be contacted at. Tap submit;
  5. If you lost your personal phone, enter a friend’s phone number (you can do this by logging into your account on a computer, or using a friend’s phone).

Your phone will ring and connect you directly with your driver’s mobile number. If your driver picks up and confirms that your item has been found, coordinate a mutually convenient time and place to meet for its return to you. If your driver doesn’t pick up, leave a detailed voicemail describing your item and the best way to contact you.
