Unique items left behind in Ubers
Orlando was ranked among the most "forgetful" cities in the U.S. regarding leaving items behind in Ubers.
ORLANDO, Fla. - Have you ever forgotten your sunglasses or hat in an Uber? What about your phone? Maybe you've forgotten hot sauce, a breathalyzer or even your pet turtle?
Surprisingly enough, those last three items have actually been left in Ubers in the past year, according to the rideshare company's eighth annual Lost & Found Index, which provides a glimpse into the items people leave behind and the cities they leave them behind in the most.
The most forgetful city in the U.S. is Miami, according to Uber's list. That means that people in Miami leave items behind in Ubers more than any other city in the U.S. Florida was well-represented on the list, with Orlando ranked at No. 6 and Tampa Bay at No. 8.
