Explore the latest Uber Lost & Found Index for 2025. From Viking drinking horns to phones and wallets, discover what riders frequently forget in Ubers across the top forgetful cities like New York and Miami. Delve into the strangest items left behind!
Ever left something behind in an Uber? You’re in good company. From a Viking drinking horn to Ozempic and even a live turtle — riders managed to forget it all last year.
In the past twelve months, the usual suspects like phones, keys, and wallets topped the list of most commonly forgotten items. However, the award for the most forgetful city goes to none other than New York City, with the most forgetful day falling on October 26. But the story doesn’t end with everyday essentials — the variety of items left behind is as diverse as it is bizarre.
Imagine leaving behind 175 burgers in an Uber, or discovering that someone forgot a Ghostbusters ghost trap. It seems there’s no limit to what can be left in the backseat. Here’s a glance at some of the 50 most unique lost items from this year’s index:
Mannequin Head with Human Hair: Perfect for hairstylists or a very unsettling passenger.
Viking Drinking Horn: Perhaps left after a particularly spirited Viking-themed party.
Ghostbusters Ghost Trap: Who you gonna call? Your Uber driver, apparently.
Chainsaw: Hopefully, it was off.
Breast Milk, Fine China, and My Turtle: From the practical to the peculiar, riders leave no item behind.
And it doesn’t stop there. Other intriguing finds include a unicycle, an aviation headset, and even a very large portrait of someone — still waiting in a brown box. Each item tells a story, possibly a very interesting one!
