Dallas No. 5 Most Forgetful U.S. City, Uber Says

Uber dropped its 2024 Lost & Found Index on Wednesday. The annual roundup lists items left behind in Uber rides around the U.S and calls out what the company dubbed its “most forgetful” cities. Big D cracked the top 10 at No. 5.

The index also ranks the 50 most “unique” objects left behind, and there's no shortage of lost oddities. Is anyone in North Texas missing a frontal toupee or “two containers with spiders in them”?

Most Forgetful U.S. Cities

In order, the most forgetful U.S. cities are Miami, Los Angeles, Atlanta, Houston, Dallas, Orlando, Phoenix, Tampa Bay, Denver and Austin. Remember if you can that three of the top 10 are in Texas.

The index also includes the company’s most “unique” items left behind, including a “hot sauce and a breathalyzer” combo. (Name a more incongruent pair.)

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


11. Candle that says ‘See you in court’


12. A fake tooth / retainer (it’s a really small plastic piece with a fake tooth in it)


13. Gray tub of surgical implants


14. Police-grade handcuffs


15. My live pet animal turtle


16. Waist beads and a burrito steamer


17. I left expensive blueberries that are special that I need that the store is completely out of. There’s two packages that I absolutely need.


18. My girlfriend’s pregnant pills


19. Small box containing a gnome.


20. Standup paddleboard paddle


21. Painting from SeaWorld. It was wrapped up in a roll and I love it.


22. A playbill from the Spamalot show at the Kennedy Center


23. My robot


24. Benihana garlic butter


25. Contraceptive Plan B from Costco and a BaBylissPRO massager machine

The top 20 food items forgotten include several standouts ranging from "a whole smoked pork belly" and a "cooler with meat" to a “small container of valuable honey" and a "jar of oysters."

The most “forgetful day” of the year is Jan. 21, and 9 p.m. to 10 p.m. is deemed the "losing hour," the "most popular hours of the day lost items were reported," the report states.

If any of these sound familiar, Uber’s help page could pave the way for a long-awaited reunion with your prized Benihana garlic butter.
