It’s happened to the best of us. That sinking feeling when you realised you’ve left your smartphone, valuables or bag in the Uber, that has just dropped you off. You’re not alone, as Uber’s Fifth Annual Lost & Found Index shows some of the many things forgotten on rides. The Lost & Found Index shows riders are most forgetful on Fridays and Thursdays.

6. Clothing
7. Glasses
8. Jewellery / Watch / Make-Up
