The things Bangladeshis leave behind in their Uber rides

Uber has released the third edition of its Uber Lost and Found Index 2020. 

Over the last year, phones, cameras, and bags top the list of items left in Ubers in Bangladesh, followed by utility items like wallets, keys, clothing, and umbrellas in the top ten most forgotten item category, a press release said. 

Bangladeshis also forgot unique things such as Gajorer Halua (Sweet item), Mosquito net and a bottle of Ghee.

Thursdays and Fridays were the most common days to report lost items, especially around the afternoon lunch and post-lunch lazy lull from 2 pm to 5 pm.

Backed by rider insight and captivating data, the Lost and Found Index aims to educate riders in fun yet informative manner about Uber's in-app options available to them at the tap of a button, in case they lose or forget something in their Uber during their trip.

Lost items that peak on certain days are licence or IDs on Mondays, laptops on Tuesday, water bottle on Wednesday, watch or Jewellery on Thursday, Saturday and Sunday and headphones on Friday.
