Dig deeper:

One of the most forgetful days was October 26, which also happens to be the Saturday of Halloween weekend, Uber said.

The most common hours of the day when items are lost were between 11 p.m. and 12 a.m.

Riders also lost some pretty important things such as divorce papers, court summons and other legal documents.

Some other "lost item" trends included Apple products, Disney gear, teeth, pickleball and pilates gear and red items.
