Uber has released the 2023 edition of its Lost and Found Index, a snapshot of the most frequently forgotten items, most forgetful cities, as well as the days of the week and time of year when Uber riders are most forgetful There are In the index, Delhi regained the title of the most forgetful city in the country, ending Mumbai’s two-year run at the top. Hyderabad entered the top 4 most forgettable cities for the first time, while Bangalore, the most forgettable city of 2019, made a comeback as the fourth most forgettable city.
Over the past year, items including phones, bags, wallets and clothing have topped the list of items dropped off at Uber across India, followed by utility items such as water bottles, keys and accessories such as glasses and jewellery. Even unique things like brooms, college admit cards and their baby’s stroller were forgotten by Indians. One rider forgot his walking stick, and another forgot nothing less than a big-screen television in his Uber.

How to find the “lost item”?
Tap on the “menu” icon
Tap “Your Trips” and choose the trip where you left off
Tap “Report a problem with this trip”
Tap “I lost an item”
Tap “Contact my driver about a lost item”
Scroll down and enter the phone number you want to be contacted on
If you lose your phone, enter a friend’s phone number instead
Your phone will ring and connect you directly to your driver’s mobile number.
If your driver picks up and confirms that your item has been received, coordinate a mutually convenient time and place to meet for its return to you
If you can’t connect to a driver, use in-app support to report a loss and the Uber support team will assist you
Commenting on the index, Nitish Bhushan, Director, Central Operations, said, “We’ve all been there: that moment of panic when you first realize you’ve lost an important, or sentimental, personal item. With Uber, you always have the option of contacting support to try to get your stuff back. This annual survey is a fun and informative way to remind our riders how easy it is to place a retrieval request for a lost item in the app, and with the busy summer season approaching, we thought it was a good time for a quick refresher. .
