The Essentials

Have You Ever Left Something In An Uber?

Have you ever lost something in a taxi? You won’t have great odds of getting it back. But what about in an Uber?

Uber knows who you are, and it knows how to reach you. And Uber drivers have done excellent jobs getting people back their phones and wallets. But it might surprise you to learn about some other stuff left in Uber cars — all of which were returned to their owners.

This includes a lifesize mannequin, a full fish tank with water, a live bird, 10 pounds of pulled pork, deer antlers, even a Babe Ruth signed baseball.

According to Uber, the most forgetful location is East Alabama, followed by Gallup, New Mexico and Cookeville, Tennessee.

So the next time you exit an Uber, before you rate your driver, take another look around the car and the trunk.

And if you do leave something in the car, you have a better than average chance of getting it back.
