Have you ever checked out of a hotel in a rush and left something behind? Well, you wouldn't be the first.
Whether it's your car keys or your phone charger, forgetting items in hotels is more common than you would think.
Some of the most common left items include dirty laundry, device chargers makeup and toiletries.
But now new data from Hotels.com has revealed some of the weirdest lost personal items including a pet lizard.
The weirdest items left in hotel rooms
Hotels.com revealed that some of the most expensive loft items include a Rolex watch and another watch that retails for €5.7 million.
A designer Birkin bag was also forgotten with the average style from the brand costing upwards of £20,000.
In terms of essentials, some hotel guests forgot two full-leg casts and enough dentures to fill a whole hotel.
Others have left behind their pets including a chick and pet lizard, both were returned to the owners.
Topping the list for the most unexplainable items were a rice cooker, car tyre, blender and construction pipes.
Whilst many have left some odd items in hotels, there is a new way to help forgetful guests with many hotels providing the essentials.
The Viceroy Riviera Maya has a soap concierge while the Kimpton Vero Beach Hotel allows travellers to browse and borrow accessories like sunglasses and handbags from retailer Anthropologie through its “Forgot it? We’ve got it!” program.
Despite efforts like ‘lost and found’ boxes, some hotel staff have gone to the extreme to reunite guests with their possessions.

One hotel hero drove 100 miles to return a passport, another ran several blocks to deliver items before a cruise ship departed, and another travelled four hours to return a forgotten suitcase.
The newest information on forgotten items comes as part of Hotets.com's annual Hotel Room Innsights Report which found stories and surprising service from more than 400 partner hotels worldwide.
Discussing the report, Melanie Fish, vice president of Global Public Relations at Hotels.com said, “At Hotels.com we know hotels inside and out – it's in our name. By asking hotels to reveal the secrets behind their most memorable stays, we discovered that these “innsights” have actually inspired services available to guests today."
