You wake up the next morning in a hungover stupor, later than you should have, and realize that it was the sun beating in from the open curtains that woke you up and not the alarm on your cell phone. Oh, hell. It's missing. Again. You left it in the back seat of Uber you took last night, didn't you? You're not alone in that. Uber's latest [lost-and-found index]() is full of commonalities that you hold with fellow ride sharers, and some that you definitely don't. ## Most Commonly Lost Let's start with the things that are most commonly [left in an Uber]().

Wallet 4. Keys 5. Purse / Backpack 6. Clothing 7. Glasses 8. Headphones 9. Vape / E-cig 10. ID / License ## The Weird Stuff Enough with normality.

East Alabama 2. Gallup, New Mexico 3. Cookeville, Tennessee 4. Mississippi Delta 5. Boone, North Carolina 6. Sioux City, Iowa 7. South Georgia 8. Mankato, Minnesota 9. College Station, Texas 10. Tallahassee, Florida Most of the items were misplaced during late night hours during Saturday and Sunday, specifically from 11:00 PM until 1:00 AM. Additionally, riders reported more missing items on New Years and Halloween than any other day. We're not saying that these days and times are associated with inebriation, but if you're going out to drink, perhaps keep a short leash on your valuables. ## Days of the Week Of course, everyone's schedules are different. But there seems to be a certain primal connection to the things that people leave in their chauffeur's car and the days when they are left. Uber made the following connections between lost items and days of the week: - People are most likely to forget ****watches**** on ****Monday**** - People are most likely to forget ****headphones**** on ****Tuesday**** - People are most likely to forget ****laptops**** on ****Wednesday**** - People are most likely to forget ****books**** on ****Thursday**** - People are most likely to forget ****passports**** on ****Friday**** - People are most likely to forget ****phones**** on ****Saturday**** - People are most likely to forget ****cakes**** on ****Sunday**** IF you do end up losing something during your ride, Uber says that getting it back should be simple. Calling your driver is the easiest method of retrieval, however, if your phone itself is lost, the procedure can be done on a computer as well. ## Author After putting down the camera and leaving the tuner car scene behind, Rob has been covering the automotive world since early 2017.
