Dear MEL Topic Readers, 
From butterflies to breast milk, Uber's list of lost items reveals wild backseat discoveries
Uber operates ride-sharing services in approximately 15,000 cities in 70 countries with over 200 million monthly active users. It is the most widely used rideshare app in the US, dominating more than two-thirds of the nation’s rideshare market. The rideshare giant recently announced its 10th lost-and-found index, an annual list of strange items left behind by riders in the US. It revealed that more items were left in New York than any other city, and Sunday was the day when people left things behind the most. Even though phones are the most essential item for using a rideshare service, more than a million phones were left in the cars. Some of the items that led last year’s lost items trend were vapes and e-cigarettes, Labubu dolls, and Croc sandals (open-toe footwear). Unusual things on the list include a pair of partial teeth in a tissue, pelvis implants, 20 pounds of duck sausage, and a child’s prosthetic eye. While some of the items were tiny or compact, others were bulky or heavy. Make sure to check the seat before leaving the car you rode.
