Only once have I lost something by leaving it behind in an Uber and albeit I missed having it, it was b.o.r.i.n.g: my winter scarf :-(
Uber has compiled a list of "unique" forgotten items that people have left behind in the backseat and some of them make you wonder, "What the heck?"
Check this out:
At the top of the list is an 8-week-old Chihuahua. Whuh?
A black and white dog tuxedo made number 5 and there were some oxygen-breathing creatures that include a bird, and a fish in a fish tank. Why were they transporting a fish in a water-filled tank?
One Uber driver discovered a propane tank left behind. Then there's a mannequin, a shopping cart and a fog machine that were left by their absent-minded humans.
Now this would be a terrible realization that it may be gone forever: a baseball signed by Babe Ruth. Also found was a white gold wedding ring with diamonds, a full set of 18K god teeth and this very expensive discovery: a pair of white leather snakeskin Louboutin heels.
Other items topping the list were a Lego championship wrestling belt, a bejeweled Elvis cape, a handmade cat puppet, a pizza costume, a welding helmet and a stuffed toy of a cat eating pizza.
But wait there's more - food! Left behind were 10 pounds of pulled pork and chicken, Red Lobster takeout, a salmon head, six chicken tenders, and a tray of eggs.
Also according to Uber, the most forgetful days of 2018 were Halloween and New Year's Day while the most forgetful days were Saturday and Sunday and the times were between 11pm and 1am.
