The items we most commonly leave behind in Ubers make for an unsurprising list: phones, wallets, luggage, keys, headphones, clothing, passports, glasses, jewelry, and laptops. But for 10 years now, Uber’s Lost & Found Index has catalogued the strangest things to be left behind, and the list is once again a doozy.
Per the 2026 index, items that made the top 50 “lost” list include dentures, an ankle monitor, a single Louboutin heel, a wizard wand, two wedding gowns, a package of live butterflies, a child’s prosthetic eye, and a meat slicer (see all 50 here). While determining the oddest of the odd is a fairly subjective task, Uber did that very thing and rounded up “our top 10 most unique items over the last 10 years”:
- Lobster (2017)
- Divorce papers (2018)
- Salmon head (2019)
- Lanyard that says “virginity rocks” (2020)
- A large painting of Kate Middleton (2021)
- 500 grams of caviar (2022)
- MY DOG IS IN THE CAR!!! A toy poodle (2023)
- Fake butt (2024)
- Taxidermied rabbit (2025)
- A 75-gallon fish tank (2026)
