From bags to pink teddy bears, here's what Uber riders across the region are leaving behind, according to an index report released by the ride service hailing company.
This year's Lost and Found Index released by Uber highlights the most forgotten items in their cabs, as well as most absent minded riders in the Middle East, North Africa and Pakistan region.

While almost all have lost a phone at some point, some riders are leaving behind rather unusual items such as a wedding card invitation, a pair of binoculars and even a sibling in one instance.
The most forgetful cities in the MENAP region? Qassim takes the top slot, followed by Abu Dhabi with Riyadh placing at number five and Dubai at number six.

Bizarre facts:

- Thursday is when riders from the UAE, Saudi Arabia and Egypt are the most forgetful?
- Riders from the UAE were most likely to forget their phone / camera on a Friday, Saudi riders left behind backpacks and luggage on a Thursday, while Egyptians exited without their wallets and purses on a Wednesday more than any other day of the week
When it comes to commonly lost items, phones and cameras topped the list in the UAE, Egypt, as well as Saudi Arabia. The second thing that riders from the three countries were likely to leave behind were backpacks, luggage and folders.
Here's a list of the the 10 most commonly forgotten items in MENA and Pakistan:
1. Backpacks/bags/folders/box/luggage
2. Phones and cameras
3. Clothes
4. Wallets and purses
5. Keys
6. Glasses
7. Headphones and speakers
8. Water bottles and thermoses
9. Phone chargers
10. Jewelry & makeup
However, it is easy to recover lost items in an Uber by simply tapping "Your Trips" and selecting the trip where you left something behind, then tapping "I lost an item", following which you can contact the driver to get your possessions back.
