What do a 2004 Olympic medal, a Harry Styles ticket, and false teeth have in common? They were all left behind in Australian Ubers sometime in the past year.
The rideshare giant has released its seventh annual lost and found index with data revealing Brisbane was the most organised Australian city in the past year, as its customers left behind the fewest items.
Sydney was right towards the other extreme but it wasn’t quite as bad as Perth, which topped the list for the second year in a row as Australia’s most forgetful.
“From a Harry Styles concert ticket to a taxidermied cat, Aussies have really outdone themselves when it comes to forgetfulness this year,” the head of rider operations at Uber Australia and New Zealand, Hoa Nguyen, said.
“The important thing to remember is that we do have a process if you suddenly realise you’ve left your phone, wallet or Harry Potter wand in your driver’s car, head to the app for help and follow the prompts to retrieve your items.
