Cell phones, wallets and keys remain some of the most forgotten personal belongings left behind in Uber rides this past year, according to the company's annual Lost & Found list. But have you ever left behind grandma's teeth?
The ridershare's list of most commonly forgotten items isn't full of many surprises. The top 10 list rounds out with backpacks and purses, headphones, glasses, clothing, vapes, jewelry and ID cards.
Uber generously released a long list of the most unique items left behind, some of which sound like the answers to a Mad Lib.
Here are just a handful plucked from their list:

Most Forgetful Days
Uber crunched the numbers and found that Saturdays and Sundays are the most forgetful days of the week. They also broke down the week by which items are most commonly lost of each day:
- Mondays: glasses, charges and cardholders
- Tuesdays: kid's items, like car seats, strollers and pacifiers
- Wednesdays: Passports and books
- Thursdays: Groceries and laptops
- Fridays: Cash and fanny packs
- Saturdays: Clothing, ID and keys
- Sundays: Pones, wallets, jewelry and makeup
Most 'Forgetful Cities'
News
A hearty congratulations to Austin, Texas, which topped the rideshare's list of most "forgetful" cities for the second year in a row.
Austin isn't the lone city in Texas to crack the top 10. Uber said riders in Houston and Dallas are also among the most forgetful in the county.
It may come as a surprise to some, but none of the three most populous cities made the list. Neither New York City, Los Angeles or Chicago appeared in the top 10.
