Passengers often leave personal items behind after hurried rides, late-night celebrations or extended parties, turning a routine drop-off into a frantic search for a missing phone, wallet or set of keys.
An annual report on lost belongings released by the ride-hailing platform in France outlines a strikingly odd collection of items recovered by drivers. According to local reports, the same pattern resonates strongly with riders in Spain, where couriers say they could fill a book with the weekend’s discoveries.
The inventory includes a full leg prosthesis, a box of laxatives, a billete falso de 100 dólares with Donald Trump’s likeness, and a signed cheque for €1,500. Also recovered were two complete barbecues, a Christmas tree, an Xbox console, a guitar, an album signed by cartoon characters, and the original script of an unnamed film.

Data indicate that the early hours of New Year’s Day top the list for forgotten items, followed closely by the early mornings of Saturday and Sunday rides, when fatigue and late-night outings are common. Those peak periods often involve passengers who are rushing home after parties or weekend trips. La madrugada del 1 de enero tras las uvas y las celebraciones de Nochevieja revalida su puesto como el día del año en el que más pertenencias se quedan en los coches.
The app provides a help channel that connects users with the driver who serviced their trip. Through the ride history, passengers can request a phone call, arrange a meeting point and retrieve the item before it is transferred to the standard custody process.
