What Are The Craziest Things Left Behind In An Uber On LI?
Uber recently released a list of the craziest things riders left behind since the app launched on Long Island in June.
LONG ISLAND, NY - In the 9 months since Uber officially launched on Long Island, hundreds of residents have been using the ride-sharing service and quite a few of those riders have been leaving stuff behind.
As a result, Uber created a Lost and Found Index to see what exactly gets left behind in Ubers in Long Island since it launched on June 29th - and it includes everything from sliced cold cuts to a monthly LIRR pass.
If you’re planning to take an Uber this weekend, just make sure you do the “possession pat down” before leaving the car, as the index shows you’re most likely to lose something on a Saturday or Sunday.
