Urn Left in Uber Leads to Online Mystery

Are you missing some ash? An urn was recently discovered in the back of an Uber in the Kansas City metro area and no one can figure out exactly who it might belong to. A new report from Fox4 in Kansas City.

“I don’t know what to do with this…boy found this pitcher in an Uber,” Erin Hayden wrote on Facebook on December 28, 2024.

Hayden wrote that her son asked the Uber driver if it was his pitcher and he confirmed it was not. Even the driver doesn’t know who it could be because he drives so many people every day.

“It’s small and obviously loved because the blue finish is coming off… does anyone know what we should do with it?” Hayden wrote. “The guy was in Overland Park when he found it but Uber was all over KC. Thursday boy found it.

The Uber was in Kansas City, Kansas when the pitcher was discovered by a passenger, but it’s unclear how far the Uber driver had traveled. And the way it was discovered (with a passenger’s flashlight) suggests it may have been there for a while.

Fox 4 News in Kansas City Talked to Ty HaydenThose were actually found in pitchers.

“I got out of Uber to make sure we didn’t leave anything behind so we didn’t have to come back to Uber,” Hayden said. “I whipped out the flashlight and found a few items, but I caught them.”

Hayden said he texted his friends to make sure it wasn’t their pitcher. And he has no idea what to do about it now.

“It’s a pretty big item, especially because it’s probably emotional to somebody,” Hayden said.

Ty Hayden is serving in the military and is stationed in Florida so he is back in the Kansas City area with his mother, according to Fox 4. Anyone who knows who the corn belongs to is encouraged to contact them Erin Hayden is on Facebook. And while her post has been shared more than 200 times, no one has come forward with any ideas.

“It’s well-liked, so somebody’s going to take it. If it’s my parent or my child or whoever, I want to get it back home,” Hayden told Fox 4.

Hayden said they will keep the urn and put it on the shelf “until someone claims it.”
