Small and big things are quickly forgotten in daily chaos – especially if you leave a taxi. The current “Lost & Found Index” of Uber for 2025 now unveils a curious find list of Austrian vehicles.
The fact that mobile phones are forgotten in a Uber Taxi is daily life for the drivers. According to the “Lost & Found Index” 2025, unusual items in the cars also lagged behind in Austria, including a turtle, a chainsaw, a DNA test and breast milk. “It is not a distributing whether it returned to its owner on time,” said it on Tuesday in a broadcast.
Passengers, especially during the weekend, forgetful
Mobile phones in Uber vehicles were usually forgotten in Austria. This was followed by backpacks, portfolios, keys and glasses. According to the index, somewhat often left on Saturday and Sunday – especially between 0.00 and 2 hours, reports via the Uber app.
In particular, keys and telephones remained particularly often, while on Monday glasses and bags or backpacks were on Wednesday.
Finds often come back
“Everyone who notices that they have forgotten something in the vehicle can report this object directly to the Uber app and also contact the driver. Because you are always understandable with whom you travel when and where, a forgotten object is not a lost object,” said Martin Essl, general manager of Uber in Austria. In general, most finds find their way back to their owners within a few hours.
Vienna as the most forgetful capital
With most trips in Austria it is also clear that Vienna leads the ranking of the forgetful cities, followed by Salzburg and Graz. However, Bregenz was far ahead of the relationship. If you look at Europe, Great Britain is clearly in first place, France and Portugal follow. Austria is 14.
