Uber released its annual Lost & Found Index Thursday. It’s culled from data gathered when riders report lost items through the app – and it did not disappoint.

The list of items most often forgotten are: clothing, phones, wallets, headphones, jewelry, keys, books, laptops, watches, backpacks, and purses. No surprises there.
