According to Uber one driver who works full-time at Uber returns roughly 11 lost items to their owners in one year which makes it roughly 1 item per month. The return journey incurs cost and time which has to be paid.

Moreover, Uber also has updated the rating system, if you are to rate a trip under 5 stars, Uber will ask you the reason for rating low, if the things are beyond drivers control such as; flat tyre, traffic jam etc. the rating wouldn’t affect the drivers overall stars.
