Portuguese are low-life scum...

actually.... they didn't return a single wallet.

"while in Lisbon, Portugal, only one of the wallets was returned - by a couple on holiday from Holland"
 
too little data and this stuff is very location dependent, also what if they're taking it to the police?

In southern and eastern europe there are gypsies doing their tricks on places where lots of tourists are, if they find a wallet they're surely not gonna give it back.
 
There are areas in the US, where I'd guess you would have close to 100% return rate, and areas in the US where I'd bet you would have a 0% return rate. Thus, that study is useless without a heck of a lot more information. Or rather, since this was city by city - areas of NYC where you'd get a high return rate, and areas where the return rate would be close to zero.


I think for a follow-up, they should post the pictures of the people who picked up and kept the wallets. 🙂

I left my wallet in a red robin last week, came back for it like 6 hours later. I left it with all my cards, ID and 21$ cash........I got it back with everything, INCLUDING the cash. This is in the US though.
 
Lisbonites maybe, but the study says nothing about Portuguese in general... I'm more concerned about cities having more incidences of wallets being taken from a person by force.
 
Last time was I stupidly carrying around my wallet at the gym. Somehow it slipped out while doing one of the machines and I was too dumb to notice.

It's also a cheap gym that was crowded as hell with tons of people that aren't exactly rich, it's one of those $10/m ones. By the time I got to the next machine some broseph ran up to me to quickly give it back.

The guy obviously didn't even look in it I'm guessing . I had everything in there in part why I didn't leave it in the car (The parking lot is ghetto, leaving it in your car is a recipe for a broken window) - 6 credit cards, all my ids, tons of other cards/identification - and - most importantly - over $250 from a poker game the night before. I'm still in awe that there are people out there that kind and honest.

If I didn't get a proper reward for helping out (ala Red Dead Redemption), I would have beat your dome in with a kettle bell. :colbert:

I keed. I keed. 😀
 
I would have no problem returning a lost wallet... of course I hope the owner won't mind the missing cash and credit cards.... but I would still return the wallet.

Correct. This is all socioeconomic. Survey is also a really stupidly small sample size to be inconclusive.

Wallet dropped in Wall St...you get it back (well, maybe not 😛). Wallet dropped in Downtown Detroit...not so much.

Same is true about S. European countries who's population are going through really rough economic times versus the well-to-do Nordic/German countries.
