The ridesharing company is out with its latest Lost and Found Index of 2023, revealing the most surprising and popular items left behind by riders over the past year.
There are common items left over, like vapes, phones and bags. But then there are the unique ones, like amethyst crystals and gold dentures.

“Please note there is a $20 fee to get your items returned, and that fee goes entirely to the driver because of the inconvenience of returning the item.”
