Here is the data: www.dropbox.com/s/m2ahob0949m...
Summary: I lost my wallet. That made me curious about what kind of person doesn't return a found wallet. So I got 200 wallets and dropped them in 10 cities to collect data to rank the honesty of the cities and to build a profile of an honest person. We looked at variables such as male v. female, age, high income v. low income, religious v. non-religious, small town v. big town.

Drop your messy wallet in Japan, get it back cleaner with all the bills flattened, crisp, and arranged according to worth.

[@Moseeplo]

I had over $2500 in a hand bag. I accidentally left it on the train during one of my 4 transfers. Upon discovering my missing bag when I got home, I retraced my steps checking at every lost and found at each stop along my travels. At the first station I transferred, I had left it on the train. Some one found it, turned it in to lost and found. During the days when Boom Boxes were a big thing, I let mine at a fast food joint. An hour later upon realizing I left it there, which was downstairs across the street from my apartment, I looked over the balcony and it was still there. Nice to see that in some places in America there are still good people regardless of their status. Almost make me feel all warm and fuzzy.......almost.

On a vacation to Australia my son dropped his wallet while laying on the ground in a parking lot along the great ocean road near Port Campbell Victoria. It was dark and he was looking up at the sky looking at the stars and hunting the southern cross and taking pics. Next day the when he noticed it was missing, we went back and it was gone. 2 months later we got a letter in America from the Victoria PD with instructions to get it back. When we called the detective in Camperdown Vic she said it was turned in with all the American Money and all the Australian Money plus his permit and debit card. After confirming our info it was returned to us in the United States at no charge to us. I couldn’t believe it. We were dumbfounded! It came back to us literally from the other side of the planet!

[@visavis88]

Many years ago my grandma lost her wallet at the local mall and she thought everything would be gone forever. I helped her cancel the credit cards. There was almost $200 in it. A week later the wallet appeared between our doors, everything still inside, including all the money. A woman's high heeled boot footprints were in the snow leading to our door. We wondered why a week to return? Had they pondered taking the cash, and looked through the walled and saw it was of a senior lady and felt badly for her? We'll never know, but were thankful for their honesty.

I'm very certain that the results would be wildly different if there was more than 6 dollars in the wallets. In that case, people hope for a reward bigger than 6 dollars when they return the wallet. A real experiment would be putting 100 dollars in the wallets.

I have a cool lost wallet story. It involved a rival high school band director letting me use an instrument for district honor band and a few years later me finding that exact person’s wallet in a Walmart buggy. What are the odds. Thanks Mr Square!

Found a wallet last year and returned it, all the while cynically thinking "if this happened to me, no one would bother returning my wallet/if someone else found this, they would have kept if because people are assholes". Glad to be proven wrong.

[@32BitJunkie]

I had a wallet returned in Edmonton (one of the cities with 5/10 returns) with still $100 in it. And 3 smartphones returned. People are pretty honest (and I'm pretty clumsy).

[@krishiv04]

my health teacher found a wallet with 200$ in 11th grade and returned it. 2 days later the guy who’s wallet it was gave all 200$ to him and it helped him buy christmas presents for his family

[@reuniteireland]

I agree that the amount of money should have been a bit higher since such a low amount of money (much of it in a foreign currency) wouldn't tempt most people. It is easy to be moral when you have very very little to gain from it. If it was say 20 dollars or 100 dollars you may have gotten different results. It is also hard to generalize and say a certain city is more or less honest because it really comes down to the individuals in that city that found the wallet. That being said I am going to put my phone number in my wallet and the tip about taking it the post office is clutch.

[@f1reman237]

This experiment is something thats been performed a lot, most often by asking hotel staff to hold onto their wallet to try and standarise the type of person. The ammount of money in the wallet does affect the return rate, but heres the surprising bit. The more money in the wallet, the more likely it would be returned. From the experiments i saw, a $100 wallet had a return rate of 70% while around &10 was arou d 65%. When interviewed after, the participants said it feels more like theft the more money there is.

[@Mrmongoose64]

There's something very surreal about seeing Grant in here. It's really sad to think that he died just over a year after this video was published.

[@Ronaldopopkings]

If they had contained 500$ instead of 2-4$. I bet the return rate would lower drastically.

[@nyltiac169]

Yeah this test isn’t very accurate cuz many people know that Filipino cash is worth less (I don’t know if Filipino is used with an f or ph here)

[@cryptodipso]

I think the return rate would be the same but the question if there was any money the answer would be no.

[@grubbybum3614]

You know he didn't measure one factor, right? Race. He did have people record who picked up the wallets, but chose not to count the percentage via race.

[@zachsimmons6492]

Grubby bum would probably be highest white people lacking turning it in, since the vast majority of Americans are white. Just my thought, plus if he did include it and it was massively higher a certain race it would defeat the point of the video, to start including more people into communities and be more honest. The comments would be filled with aggression which is not the point of the video.
