Uber has released its 2026 Lost & Found Index, detailing the most unusual items passengers have left behind in their vehicles. While common items like phones, wallets, keys, and luggage are frequently forgotten, the index also features a list of more unique discoveries. Among these are live fish, human implants, breast milk, a sack of marbles, a mini fridge, and a 'group photo' of Donny Osmond. The article speculates on the circumstances under which such items might be forgotten, suggesting that items central to the reason for the Uber trip, like a mini fridge or a celebrity photo, are particularly surprising to leave behind.

California cities also featured prominently, with San Francisco ranking fourth and Los Angeles fifth on the company's list of forgetful cities.
