Ever left something behind in a taxi? This survey lists the most common things forgotten.

The most random items left behind in a taxi have been named.

Hailo Ireland has done a survey that reveals the type of things forgetful people leave behind when we are finished our journey.

Most of the things are fairly self –explanatory.

Top of the list is a mobile phone, followed by umbrellas, keys, glasses and hats.

However there are a few more random things that have been forgotten including a cooked chicken, a box of lobsters, a signed Pink Floyd album and bizarrely a set of false teeth.

Maybe someone took them out for a quick snack in the back of a taxi and got out in a hurry.

Another thing the survey revealed is how generous people are to taxi drivers who look after their possessions until they track them down.

Drivers say they have been offered things like chocolates, cash and even dinner when lost property is returned.
