It may be surprising to learn that New York is the most memorable city when it comes to riding stocks. So, Uber, who released his ninth Lost & Found Index, is a hilarious, surprising, and sometimes gross list of riders left behind in the car last year. (Miami, Chicago, Los Angeles, Washington, DC were approaching the back of New York.)
In its reporting data, the San Francisco vehicle giant said it was doing so as the planet's mercury came out in retrograde.
On April 5 alone, more than 7,000 riders reported items lost last year.
Quin Cox, author and astrologer based in Provincetown, Massachusetts, described April 26th, said “things become glitchy,” but Uber reports show there was no clear cosmic basis as to why people lost the most on October 26th.
Volume can be a factor in the amount of losses New Yorkers suffer. Perhaps there is the stress of traffic fares to consider and the demands of living in a harsh, clearly expensive metropolitan city.
However, according to data assembled by Uber, people misplace their belongings everywhere, and do so with incredible idiosyncraticity. When you leave the house on Monday, it may help you know that you are more likely to lose gloves on a ride that day than any other day. Tuesday, jacket. Wednesday is medicine. If you are welcoming Uber on Thursdays or Fridays, beware of umbrellas. Hold on Saturdays with a cowboy hat.
The reason for the peak of debit card losses on Sunday is supposed to remain a mystery, like with the Uber Lost & Found Index. Don't worry about how passengers will forget such items. Why do passengers get on vehicles with urinals, turtles, chainsaws, or human-haired mannequin heads?

“From beyond the whimsical mannequins to the living lobsters, Uber riders have left behind some truly unforgettable items this year,” Camiel Irving, Uber's Vice President and General Manager of Mobility for the US and Canada, said in a statement.
In contacting her Boston office by phone, Irving added that things will inevitably be confused given that “billions of Uber travel” riders earn every year. “I recently left the Veneta wallet at Bottega,” Irving said. “I can imagine it was a bit stressful about it,” she added, which was easy to get the item. “It was a simple textbook for the app and I had to get out of the meeting a bit.
It is unlikely that the Uber drivers themselves (around 80,000 people in New York, represented by the independent driver guild) will be able to forget some of the many uncomfortable items that passengers carry and depart. Who did it? When a stranger somehow accidentally abandons a 5-gallon bucket bean or 175 burger slider or bo jungle chicken tender combo platter or a carton of melted sunny pleasure ice cream in your car?
“I had headphones, keys, a phone, and 29 sets of glasses today,” said Uber driver Diston Salina, 29, over the past nine years when asked about missing items during his recent ride. “I lost my wallet back to back at least once,” he said.
Though he was sometimes worried about lost items (“some people in the Bronx once left their pocket knife and I was.”), Salina usually walks the ride-share frossum.
“People leave delicious bottles of liquor, beer and wine,” he added. “Believe me, they're calling it to me.”
The extent to which Lost & Found Index's blackouts are showing suggests that even before many Uber riders hit their destinations on the app, they could be in the minds of fuzzy frames. Random stock of beverages found at Uber Cars last year – for example, a gallon bottle of grey goose. White nail case. Or, the fifth of Remy Martin Cognac in a bag with pure peach lemonade is a testament to the appealing consumer profile or the tensions of 21st century life.
Given the vast amount of subpoena, liens, divorce papers and legal documents, Uber is also listed among the commonly lost items in transportation.
