The World's Most Honest City: Lost Wallet Experiment Reveals


Wallet drop
Every traveler's worst nightmare is to lose their wallet in a foreign city. But how likely are you to get that lost cash sent back to you? Readers' Digest commissioned a study that involved dropping 12 wallets in prominent places in 16 major cities across the world.....
Each wallet contained the equivalent of $50 in cash, along with contact details and an assortment of family snapshots. In total, less than half of the wallets were returned, and the study concluded that "age is no predictor of whether a person is going to be honest or dishonest; young and old [and male and female] both kept or returned wallets."
Overall, the most honest city was Helsinki, Finland, where 11 of the 12 wallets were turned in, while the most money-grabby was Lisbon, Portugal, where only one lost wallet was returned (by a vacationing couple from Holland). New York, the only U.S. city on the list, tied with Budapest, Hungary, for third place, with 8 out of 12 wallets being returned. That's sort of good news, but we think we'll just take our chances and tuck our wallets into our stylish fanny packs.
Here are the full results:
1. Helsinki, Finland - 11 out of 12 wallets
2. Mumbai, India - 9 out of 12
3. Budapest, Hungary - 8 out of 12
3. New York City, USA - 8 out of 12
