Uber’s lost-and-found list of curious things people tend to forget in cabs

Birthday cake, the famous ghewar sweet, mangoes, cricket bats, bike handles and even dumbbells. This assorted list is of the unusual things people forget behind in cabs — apart from the expected mobile phones, wallets and backpacks.

And of all cities, the country’s most forgetful in this respect is amchi Mumbai — which is unsurprising, since it’s constantly on the move. Trailing close behind is the Delhi National Capital Region (NCR) followed by Lucknow and Kolkata.

These are some findings of the “2022 Uber Lost & Found Index”, which offers a snapshot of the items that are most frequently forgotten in cabs, the most forgetful cities as well as the days of the week and times of the year when Uber riders across 100 cities tend to be more forgetful.
