From a jar of oysters to two spiders, these are the 10 weirdest things left in Ubers in 2023

We've almost all left something in an Uber, like a jacket or pair of sunglasses. In 2023, there were also some stranger items forgotten by passengers.

• Every year, Uber publishes a its Lost & Found Index about items left behind by riders.
• Last year, more people contacted their driver about a lost item on January 21 than on any other day.
• Here are some of the weirdest items forgotten in Ubers in 2023.

Whether it's a pair of sunglasses, a favorite lip balm, or a jacket, almost everyone has left something behind in an Uber before.

According to Uber's annual lost and found index, riders in Miami were the most "forgetful" last year, helping the city claim the No. 1 spot from Jacksonville, 2022's winner (also in Florida). Los Angeles and Atlanta took the next two most-forgetful city spots.

For some reason, riders were especially lax on January 21.

And while it's not surprising that clothing was the No. 1 item left behind in 2023 in the US, Uber's recap also mentioned some, shall we say, more unique items that drivers discovered last year.

Among those strange findings were a framed Taylor Swift autograph and an entire Jeep Liberty engine.

While the longer list contains some doozies (a paternity test, anyone?), here are 10 of the weirdest items Uber said riders reported they lost in 2023:

1. Frontal hair toupee

2. Hot sauce and a breathalyzer

3. "I left a leaf in your car that's much needed"

4. Two containers with spiders in them

5. A Beyoncé fold up fan

6. A tray of meat pie

7. Ceramic cat

8. Jar of oysters

9. "A personalized blanket with a picture of me and my dog"

10. Small rat skeleton prop
