For the eighth year in a row, Uber has revealed the composition of its Lost & Found Index. And, same as last year, the most "forgetful" city in the U.S. is located in Florida. After Jacksonville topped the ranks in 2023, it was Miami's turn to clock in at first this time around, edging out Los Angeles, Atlanta, Houston and Dallas, who round up the top 5. Two other cities from the sunshine state made it to the top 10: Orlando (6) and Tampa Bay (8).
The index bills itself as "snapshot of the most surprising and most popular items left behind in Ubers" and offers a wide array of insights about people's behavior while using the popular car sharing app. For example, 9pm and 10pm were the time frames when most people reported lost items and January 21st was the most forgetful day of the whole year.
