Unique items such as a coin collection, prasad, a Ukulele instrument,
and hair trimmer were left behind by Indians in Uber over the last
year, the company revealed on Friday.
According to the ride-hailing platform, riders also
left behind important documents such as passports, bank and business
papers in their Ubers.
"With Uber, you have the option to
attempt retrieving the lost item by simply following a few steps in the
app," said Nitish Bhushan, Head of Central Operations.
"We
understand the trust riders put in us each time they take an Uber ride,
and we felt the time was opportune to provide a quick refresher course
on how to retrieve lost items," he added.
According to the
company, Delhi has been ranked as the most forgetful city in the country
for the second consecutive year, while Mumbai has retained its second
position.
Bengaluru has reclaimed its third spot from
Hyderabad, which slipped to fourth as its residents have become more
cautious about their belongings. Pune has rounded up the top five most
forgetful cities in the country.
Among the most commonly
forgotten items, phones secured the top spot followed by laptop bags,
clothing, keys, headphones, and others.
Moreover, the
company found that people were most likely to forget their belongings in
an Uber on Saturdays. They forgot most items last year during the
festive days around Diwali.
