In some cases, rental car employees may also find more unusual items, such as jewelry, money, or even firearms. While most people are careful to check their cars for belongings before returning them, it's easy to see how something could be accidentally left behind. After all, rental cars are often used for short trips, and people may be more focused on getting to their destination than on remembering everything they brought with them.
If you do happen to leave something behind in a rental car, it's important to contact the rental company as soon as possible. Most companies have a lost and found department that will store your belongings for a period of time. You may be able to retrieve your items by paying a shipping fee, or you may need to pick them up in person.
