    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.

      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.

    In 1980 when I was 5, my father and I were walking through Lakeforest Mall in Germantown, Maryland. My dad reached down and picked up a 100 dollar bill on the ground. He walked it straight to the customer service desk in the middle of the mall and turned it in to a woman. The woman said, " Sir how am I gonna find the person that lost this? I can't put out a page over the intercom, everybody will claim it's theirs." My dad said to her, " I don't know ma'am, but I do know that it's not mine." I'll never forget that. My dad was an incredibly honest man who taught me that if it's not yours, don't take it. RIP Pop. I love you.

    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 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.

    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!

    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 lost my wallet on a trip and I was so concerned it was going to get stolen. We searched for it for hours and came up with nothing. When I was panicking and calling to cancel my cards, I remembered this video, and it gave me some faith that maybe someone would return it…

    Yeah that was bogus, it got stolen, I never saw it again

    I live in Georgia and one time my dads wallet flew out of our car (he has a Jeep) and we never noticed. An actual angel saw it fly out, turned around to get it, and drove 30 minuets out of his way to bring it to our house. And that is crazy to me not only because who is that amazing, but he was driving a landscaping truck and obviously had been on a long day of work. He could barely speak English and refused our money, and he gives me hope in humanity😌

The person who found it called all the numbers I had written down on peices of paper(which was probably awkward cause who knows who's numbers I had) and then finally got ahold of someone( I think it was my mom)who called me and told me someone found my wallet. They drove all the way out my house to deliver it (on the northwest side) and wouldn't even accept a reward. I offered them all the cash that was in it and they wouldn't even accept it.

      The only thing I said is that this is the reason we do science. We might intuitively think one thing, but we have to be willing to alter our perceptions when the evidence contradicts our expectations. Yes, every wallet being returned does not mean that there is no such thing as corrupt police. That is a completely ignorant statement to make, which is why I never said it. However, it would mean that Mr. Harper's assumptions would be incorrect. He asserts that if you were to perform this test at X police station then Y would result. I simply posed to him the question of whether he would change his mind should the result = Z instead of the expected Y. If not, then he would have to admit that his biases are based in bigotry and not reality. Would it mean that there are no abuses of power, dirty cops, or anything else? No, it would mean that his assumption of the result was not correct, and thus further reflection of his cognitive biases would be required.

It's all but guaranteed to get there, and it's insured if it doesn't get there, so you can't lose.

      Disney has an effective lost and found system. If you lost anything or left it behind, it usually ends up in a central lost and found at the end of the day. It gets categorized and "filed" away for easy retrieval when you call or go by to see if they have it. Only once did I lose something that I never got back. He probably could have called lost and found to see how many of the wallets were turned in.

So, that money should've been returned, or they should have offered to donate it to a charity, of which Disney is associated to many.

    I found a wallet on my way home in the middle of the night (1 am) and tried to find the owner on social media but could‘t positivity match the picture from his various cards with any online.
    Long story short, I dropped it off at the nearest police station and got home later than I would have liked.
    The guy wrote me a really wholehearted thank you message via SMS and I even received a thank you letter from the city.
    Even though I would have never even though about not returning the wallet, I didn‘t think it would have that much of an impact on the affected party and neither would I have though this act of simple decency would be appreciated so deeply. It sure made my day!
