From a snare drum and a piano to gold teeth and a cat urine sample, Toronto residents left behind some rather unique items, according to Uber’s latest Lost and Found Index from the year that was.
Uber releases its Lost and Found Index list annually, which uncovers the most surprising, peculiar and commonly forgotten items left behind by Canadian riders over the past year.
Interestingly, the report’s findings showed that Toronto, along with Ottawa and Calgary, ranked among the top three least forgetful Canadian cities.
Canada’s most forgetful cities, in order, are Lethbridge, Alta., Kelowna, B.C., Victoria, B.C., Windsor, Ont., Saskatoon, Sask., Red Deer, Alta., Winnipeg, Man., Regina, Sask., London, Ont. and St. John’s, N.L.
Top 10 most commonly forgotten items in Canada

- Keys
- Headphones/Speaker
- Glasses

Cracking the top 10 most unique or peculiar items left in Uber’s across the country include someone’s grandparents, so it’s safe to say the grandchild won’t be receiving a birthday card this year.
