A taxi driver in Sydney discovers three Melbourne Cup trophies left behind in his cab.

In a recent interview, renowned Australian jockey Glen Boss shared his immense gratitude for the return of three treasured Melbourne Cups that he had accidentally left behind in a Sydney taxi. Boss, famous for his impressive wins with the legendary horse Makybe Diva in three consecutive Melbourne Cups from 2003 to 2005, expressed that these prestigious trophies held great significance to him.

This fortunate turn of events comes after 13cabs, Australia's largest taxi company, revealed their extensive lost property list. The list includes a variety of unusual items, such as four bags of meat, a duffle bag filled with Nike shoes, cocaine inside a wallet, and even a pet cage alongside the three pure gold Melbourne Cups.

Boss had been in a rush to make it to his next appointment after speaking at an event in Sydney when he accidentally left the prized trophies in the taxi. "As you can imagine, the Cups hold a special place in my heart, and I was incredibly grateful to have them returned to me," he said.

It's not just Boss who has been forgetful this year, as passengers across the country have left behind a staggering 9086 items in taxis. The most forgetful states were found to be Victoria, Queensland, and New South Wales. 13cabs' Chief Operating Officer Olivia Barry took this opportunity to thank their dedicated drivers who go above and beyond to reunite passengers with their lost belongings.

"Our drivers are truly committed to ensuring that passengers are reunited with their misplaced items," she said. "From valuable gold Melbourne Cups to sentimental items like teddy bears, we've seen it all this year."
