A puppy, exotic fish and a vibrator are some of the unique items that top ridesharing company Uber's Lost and Found Index in 2025.
The annual index gives a glimpse into the most commonly abandoned items in Uber, which is used by over 3.8 million Australians each year.
The most forgotten items were clothing, backpacks/luggage, phones, jewellery and headphones.
Sydney had the ignominious title of being crowned the world's most forgetful city, followed by Melbourne and then Perth.
The Gold Coast, Canberra, Newcastle, Geelong, Wollongong and Ballarat featured in the top 15 most forgetful cities.
Uber's director of consumer operations, Mathieu Maire, said the index offered a "quintessentially Aussie look at life on the move".
"Behind every lost item, there's often a little story," he said.
Mr Maire said it was important to note that it is easy to contact your Uber driver to try and get your item back.
