Uber Canada 2026 Lost & Found Index
“Uber’s 2026 Lost & Found Index sheds light on both the common and not-so-common items left behind by Canadian riders over the past year,” said Uber.
Obviously phones and wallets sit at the top of the national list. But some standout items from this year include a “15-pound frozen turkey and aquarium fish and supplies in Toronto, a full set of goalie pads in Edmonton, a violin in a hard case in Montreal, and two humidifiers in Winnipeg.”
Someone from London, Ontario also left behind a single bed leg and an old smoke alarm.
Notably, Uber XL riders are also 2.6 times more likely to forget something when compared to UberX riders.
