We have all left things in the back of taxis, but a new survey reveals some of the more unusual items.
Hailo Ireland found that a cooked chicken and box of lobsters are some of the most unusual objects left behind.
The findings are from a survey carried out among 530 drivers.
It found that mobile phones are the most common items left behind in taxis.
Other frequently forgotten belongings include umbrellas (19%), keys (14%), glasses (10%) and hats (7%).

On returning the lost items, drivers say they are often offered a box of chocolates, cash or are even invited in for dinner.
General Manager of Hailo in Ireland, Tim Arnold, said: "Leaving something behind in a taxi can be a common occurrence but our service also means customers and drivers to record all journeys, meaning lost items can be returned easily".
