Power ranking the top 5 weirdest things left in Ubers from breast milk to a picture of Donny Osmond

There are few things worse than a sudden onset; The Louisville Slugger sets in motion a head-spinning panic when you realize you’ve forgotten your wallet, phone, or keys somewhere, and one of the top places to lose something is in the back of an Uber.

But imagine the panic that would come from misplacing something and requiring a lot of explaining later.

Uber published 2026 Lost and Found IndexHe talks about the most commonly forgotten items in ridesharing vehicles.

Of course, the most common items are your phones, wallets, keys, and luggage, but we need to talk about more unique items.

Uber has released the 50 most unique items left in cars, and I’m going to narrow it down to the top five in a power ranking of the weirdest things to leave in a car.

It’s going to steal the headlines, but forgetting breast milk in an Uber seems pretty easy to explain. (iStock)

5. Breast Milk

We’ll start with a potentially controversial choice.

I think a lot of people may have viewed breast milk as potentially top dog, but I think it’s one of the easier items to explain in the top 50.

Of course, that doesn’t mean it won’t melt your brain for a moment when you reach down to adjust your seat and encounter the mysterious breast milk.

But think about it, who carries breast milk? Yes, mothers with young children.

Doesn’t it make sense that when a stranger is trying to wrestle with a baby in the back of his RAV4, the bottle comes out of the little pocket in the side holster of the diaper bag? Then, in their rush to get some fresh air (because every Uber I’ve ever been in didn’t have air conditioning, smells weird, or both), they either forget the breast milk.

Yes it is, and that’s why it ranks 5th.

4. Marble Sack

Do Little Tramps use Uber?

This gets into something we’ll see over and over again on this list: if you care enough about traveling with an unusual item, you’ll probably be more inclined to pursue it.

For example, marbles. Where do you go in an Uber where you have to bring a sack of marbles?

The answer is just some kind of marble tournament, and if those are anything, that’s also valid. They may not be.

So, if you’re going somewhere to play marbles, don’t you want to make sure you know where your marbles are?

I mean, no one wants to compete using the house’s marbles, so you’ll want to make sure you keep an eye on them at all times.

3. Brand New Mini Refrigerator

I guess the fridge uses the same logic as the marbles and that’s why I can’t understand how someone would leave this in an Uber.

Let’s get the obvious out of the way: Even a smaller mini fridge is pretty heavy. I don’t know if this is one of those innovations that keeps a six-pack of Coke cold, or if it’s like a nice beverage refrigerator like the one in my kitchen (I can’t recommend doing this anymore, by the way), but it doesn’t matter.

I think if you had a mini fridge with you – no matter the size – the trip would be mini fridge centered.

You were either buying a mini fridge to take home or moving it somewhere else.

So, if the refrigerator is the MacGuffin that gets you into Uber, how can you forget it?!

It also doesn’t look like typical Uber cargo. I think the driver will say: “Hey buddy, don’t forget that mini fridge you made me throw in the back of the Kia Sportage.”

2. Donny Osmond Group Photo

Of all possible celebrity photos… Donny Osmond.

Uber listed it as Donny Osmond’s “group photo”; I have to assume this means this is one of those Comic-Con photos you pay an arm and a leg for.

So I can’t believe someone would put this behind them.

Anyone who spent that much money on a photo with Donny Osmond Really He wanted that picture. I would sit in the back of the Uber (sweating because there was no air conditioning) just looking at her photos and thinking, “I can’t believe I took a picture with Marie Osmond’s brother…”

So the last thing they will do is lose track of him after he jumps out of the car.

That’s ridiculous.

Of course, if you’re Donny Osmond, you want to believe it. Imagine people taking photos with you, then saying “Meh” and leaving them in the back of an Uber.

1. Two Trees

I can understand forgetting a tree in the back of an Uber… but two?!

Even the smallest tree is big. I think that’s part of what makes it a tree. Otherwise, it’s basically just a glorified branch.

I mean, it’s crazy to lose track of one tree, but two?

This seems impossible, but someone was confused enough to make it happen.

I think it might have been a pair of mini bonsai trees. However, like the mini fridge or the sack of marbles, this is such a special thing; It should have been a trip where bonsai trees were the focus.

And if that were the case, you wouldn’t forget them.
