The equivalent of $50 in Finland is shit, it'll get you a McDonald's menu. The equivalent of $50 in Bucharest will get you around four-five times that much. If you're gonna experiment with money, take into account what that money means for all those different people.
In my country: Keep the money, return the ID's and shit, because police would take the money for themselves :)
I found a ladies wallet in Dundee, didn't open it, went straight to police station. When they opened it in front of me it belonged to a student at university of Dundee her matriculation card pic was possibly the most gorgeous girl I'd ever seen. Wallet contained in cash 550pounds plus cards etc. They took my name etc and asked if claimed would I like a reward. My answer she can buy me a beer. Anyway she left fifty pounds as a reward and sadly no beer.
Insignificant sample sizes for each city. Like most of these cities have more than 12 distinct areas. This is pretty meaningless
$50 in local currency can be an unusually high amount of money for the local people. If you want, you can watch the movie “1000 rupee note” (2014), about what 1000 rupee ($13.70) can unleash when seen in the hands of the poor. If in Amsterdam I find a wallet with $100k of money, I probably also turn it in, before bad news comes with it.
Thats not how you come up with results of your experiment. 1. 12 wallets on one city is to small amount to come to conclusion 2. Did they left the wallets in poor or in rich parts of city? 3. Did they returned it always with all money and cards?
that's a strange measurement for honesty
Appearently in india they didnt only return it but they also added someting but im not gonna say what
Not representative of an entire country when only one city was selected but a few were surprising for sure.
Yeah, right. Where exactly did they drop them in Zurich? Langstrasse? I doubt that this is a representative study with comparable conditions.
