Which Texas cities have the most forgetful Uber riders?

TEXAS (KXAN) — From a Danny DeVito Christmas ornament to a half-dozen cheesecakes, Uber drivers have seen plenty of strange items left behind by riders. According to the 2023 Uber Lost & Found Index, two Texas cities are particularly guilty of forgetting items en route.

The most forgetful cities in this latest ranking are as follows:

Jacksonville, Florida

San Antonio, Texas

Palm Springs, California

Houston, Texas

Salt Lake City, Utah

Miami, Florida

Atlanta, Georgia

Indianapolis, Indiana

Kansas City, Missouri

St. Louis, Missouri

Typically, most forgotten items include clothing, backpacks, wallets and purses, electronics, headphones and keys. However, that isn’t to say Uber drivers haven’t seen some unusual finds in their backseats.

How unique are we talking? Some top contenders include a toy poodle left behind, a pin of Jesus holding a slice of pizza, a Tamagotchi, two pet turtles and a pregnancy test.

Coming as no surprise, Saturday and Sunday are the most popular days for riders to forget items in their Ubers, while trends show April is the most forgetful month.

While weekends are the times riders tend to be the most forgetful, some specific items are most commonly forgotten on particular days of the week.

Chargers are commonly forgotten on Mondays

Keys are typically forgotten on Tuesdays

Wallets are often lost on Wednesdays

Cash tends to be left behind on Thursdays

Watches and jewelry often go missing on Fridays

Passports are neglected on Saturdays

Groceries aren’t often scooped up on Sundays

FILE – An Uber sign is displayed inside a car in Palatine, Ill., Thursday, Feb. 10, 2022. The U.S. Department of Labor is proposing a new rule on employee classifications, saying workers have incorrectly been deemed independent contractors, which hurts their rights. The department said Tuesday, Oct. 11, that misclassifying workers as independent contractors instead of employees denies employees’ protections under federal labor standards, promotes wage theft, allows certain employers to gain an unfair advantage over businesses, and hurts the economy.
