200 dropped wallets- the 20 MOST and LEAST HONEST cities

I lost my wallet and someone didn't return it. Revenge is a dish best served... with data.

MUSIC-

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.

MERCH-
By popular demand I have shirts now! I picked the super soft, high quality shirts and make $0 on all items which is why they are priced so handsomely :)

I lost a wallet in Japan that had 300 dollars in it. When I got it back all the cash had been folded into cranes.

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

Imagine someone not returning it and then seeing this video

Can you imagine the confusion the disneyland security guy had when he realized that two identical wallets were turned in with all the same very specific things in them. That would be so strange, like a weird glitch or whatever lol

[noah]

lol Another funny story I sat next to a young guy on a plane and we chatted and gave him my business card. He lost his wallet on his trip and someone called me. I said let me see if I can help. I remembered our conversation and remembered what he said about his Dad. I looked up that info and found his Dad on LinkedIn and sent him a note to have his son call the guy who had his wallet. Wallet was returned and I was pretty proud of myself for remembering in depth our conversation.

I dropped my wallet in Canada with $20 in it and the next day my wallet was returned with $40 my grass was cut and my car washed.

When I was a child i found a wallet. A lot of cards but no money. I supposed that someone took the money and left the wallet. I took it and walked like half the city(a small city) to find the owner(i didn't know where is the exact adress). When i found it i gave them and tell them where i found it. I didn't expect rewards like money, just a thanks. That old lady accused me that i took the money. I felt bad.


Anyway that's the story how I started robbing people.

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!

Oh, Grant... He was such a good man, and, clearly, an even better friend.

“We asked their gender, age, etc”

“man I was just giving your Wallet back...”

[clivehorridge]

I’ve “mislaid” my wallet 3 times and on each occasion, it was returned to me with nothing taken…
There’s more honesty about than most people give credit for.
Only dishonesty hits the headlines…

My parents once told me that in their time in Ukraine if you see a wallet on a sidewalk, you should probably leave it because there are criminals who would drop an empty wallet and once a victim picks it up, they would come and demand the money that the wallet didn't have.

"hey! I found your wallet"
"DO YOU GO TO CHURCH?"

I left my wallet on a bar in Ceasar’s Palace in Vegas. Dude literally chased me down to give it to me. I was pleasantly surprised.

I never would have thought of making an experiment like this one, it's actually really cool how this played out. Love this video!
