If someone dropped a wallet with $2.10 and a $50.00 gift certificate inside along with some miscellaneous items and a clearly written ID card identifying the lost wallet's rightful owner, would you return it? If this test was done 100 times with random people on the street, how many people do you believe would return the money?
That is exactly what WalletTest.com did: "100 wallets dropped in front of hidden cameras to test honesty..."
The findings? Overall, people are honest with 74% returning the wallet and 26% keeping it.
