Is it or us or has Mercury been retrograde for like, the entire past year? If we were to go off of Uber's annual lost and found index alone, we'd definitely say it was. We mean, what else but celestial brain fog could explain this roundup of the weirdest things people have forgotten?
"We’ve all experienced that moment of panic when you leave something behind - often in the backseat of an Uber," says Nicole Siefert, Head of Lost & Found at the company. "From frequently lost items like phones, wallets, and keys to more unique belongings like a cat paw print, a bubble machine, or Swarovski binoculars, it's our goal to help return whatever it is you may have left behind, using the app."
