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.

Can you imagine the confusion the disneyland security guy had when he realized that two identical wallets were turned in with all the same very specific things in them. That would be so strange, like a weird glitch or whatever lol
This would actually be a great prank to play on a place like Disneyland. A set of identical wallets, all identical pictures in them, but make the ID a picture ID and have the image different ages, and drop them all on the same day. For an extra twist, make the last couple for future dates on the ID.

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.
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!
Wouldn't they feel better knowing they didn't actually ruin someone's day? What about the small amount of people who returned the wallet without money? I feel like that'd be more embarrassing.

When I was a child i found a wallet. A lot of cards but no money. I supposed that someone took the money and left the wallet. 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. Anyway that's the story how I started robbing people.
Upon finding this video, I watched it just to see if Chicago returned the most. I knew it would be! Lost a wallet/purse there about once a year for about 20 years. Always got it back with everything in it! Some people went to great lengths to get it back to me. Thank you, people of Chicago!
My mom drove for 30 minutes trying to return a old ladys wallet Edit: Yes she did return it. We we're at a gas station to get gas, and my mom decided to get some snacks. When she got back she returned with a wallet. (Also it was like 7:00) anddd we drove into a nice neighbor hood and returned it to a nice, old lady
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.
This should be shown in science classes. Honestly. It demonstrates _perfectly_ how the scientific method can be applied in the real world whilst being super well made and overall easy to understand. The visuals are amazing and useful, and the data itself is super interesting. Overall, a wonderful video.
@@blykgod the great thing about science is that, if you question his data, you can reproduce the experiment. If the data doesn't match, then you move on to the third and final round... Where the questions are harder but the prize money doubles!! Or, you could simply take his word based on his reputation as a scientist. Also, he did state that he expected religion to play more of a factor then the research showed. So I don't feel that this researcher is biased. Just my two cents..
@Liv Ocampo He could replicate the experiment which is one of the great things about peer review and the scientific community. Replicate and/or improve an experiment publish your results and let others critique them. As long as you use consistent logic, close observations and record everything you are doing good science.

Vegas being high on the list doesn't surprise me at all. Worked in Casino industry half my life myself and co-workers found many a phone , wallet , purse etc. everyone turned into security.
Same exact thing happened to me. It was in a cart outside. I didn't even touch it. I figured she was just putting groceries up and then forgot, but since there could be a chance of foul play, i didn't want my prints on it and pushed cart to customer service after telling the greeter and left it with them. I'm sure they found her or she realized and called them. How panicked did she feel upon realizing it wasn't with her? Had to be terrible!!!!
@@AstroKitty16 I didn't want to touch the purse in case someone had taken it from someone, already took a bunch of credit cards or money from it, put it in a cart, and then I'm the one seen caring it in or my prints on it. What's wrong with that?
Bruh, I also live in Chicago, I expected for us to land at the bottom, but then again, it depends on the neighborhood, I’m from little village, and here they don’t return, in fact I think they pickpocket
Not surprised at all that Chicago had a 100% return rate! One of my fav things about living here is that you get the perks of the big city, but with a feeling of genuine midwestern kindness and community! ❤️ Chicago’s the best
My brother accidentally got into someone's car thinking it was his rental... He realized his mistake, but forgot his wallet with over $1000 in cash in the car. The wallet was returned with all the money. The finder refused the offer of reward
This has happened to me. Twice!! It occurs when an identical car parks right next to yours. Fortunately both times I noticed someone already in the car when my hand was literally an inch from the door handle lol. Also, cause as a woman, you tend to keep your head up to be aware of your surroundings, so what's right in front of you (like your car lol) tends to be second priority.
That's actually crazy. If I would find one's wallet in my car. I would find that very strange. I would think of bad intentions. It's like finding a wallet in your own house. That would be weird.
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
@@pitech4446 probably, though I lost my wallet with 45 Euros, bank card, I'd and various other documents and the police returned it to me the same day I lost it
This is why concepts like airbnb and uber work. People aren't murderers and rapists. Most people are just trying to live their life. Even though various levels of news, movies and other media just focus on the sensational.
Actually, those concepts don't work. Over 100 people have been raped in Uber and Lyft. People staying in Airbnb's have found hidden cameras in bathrooms. So, some people are perverts and rapists.
@@toastedavqcado I am sure there must be at least 100s of millions of experiences by 10s of millions of people. 100 rapes isn't a bad number statistically
You know he didn't measure one factor, right? Race. He did have people record who picked up the wallets, but chose not to count the percentage via race.
Grubby bum would probably be highest white people lacking turning it in, since the vast majority of Americans are white. Just my thought, plus if he did include it and it was massively higher a certain race it would defeat the point of the video, to start including more people into communities and be more honest. The comments would be filled with aggression which is not the point of the video.
Chicago apparently is really the city of brotherly love not philly. Wallets get returned one day and the next day the person its returned to is mugged.
lol, my homeroom teacher lived in Chicago for a while and she said she couldn't even set her phone down for a few seconds without a kid stealing it. Now she can set it down and kids will go "Miss, you forgot your phone here." she was so shocked about how nice we are xD
I live in Chicago. This was very surprising. Have had a wallet and a couple phones stolen from me, in secure places, oh and a couple mail packages. It has definitely made me more pessimistic and guarded. So these wallets were definitely dropped in the nicer areas.
Specifically, Postal Workers make surprisingly decent money and have retirement, post retirement benefits, and pensions still. And a zero tolerance theft policy which strips everything if you're caught.
I worked at the Post Office in Milwaukee for a time. There are one-way viewing ports throughout the building, and there are postal inspectors randomly placed behind them. You do NOT want to mess with postal inspectors, ever, for any reason. They'll getcha.
Katelyn Schmidt its not 100%.. my mother always told me never send money through the postal office so in the span of a month. My brother and I mailed each other 4 envelopes wih about 100 bucks in it all wih 1$ bills sealed tightly. 1 came back with all 100. 2 came back with less than 100$ and the last. The postal office said they lost it. So theres that. It was sealed tightly when sent and came back with extra glue
ForDaLols It's very safe to send cash through USMail if you use the registered mail option. Costs a bit more, but there is special handling all along the way from sender to recipient, and special attention from the postal inspectors. It's all but guaranteed to get there, and it's insured if it doesn't get there, so you can't lose.
I was homeless 7 years in so calif. And I found several wallets and got back with the people and gave their wallet back. I kept the money in one because I needed it .
When I was five I was practicing how to write my moms phone number, and threw it in her wallet. A week later she lost her wallet. Next thing you know, someone calls her to tell her that she lost her wallet.
I lost my wallet in Chicago once and the guy who found it returned it to me with everything in it the same day. He refused to take any money from me and simply said I just hope that someone does the same for me.
As someone who lives in Oregon and has been to Portland I was extremely shocked at how many were returned considering almost every store has their windows boarded up (not an exaggeration)
@@Preetzole There is no crime data to support that crime is lower in big cities. Most crime data is calculated on per X number of people and big cities fare worse. There are exceptions but exceptions aren't rules. What you said is like saying the sky isn't blue.
@@Andyhandz did you hear him say that there were 10 wallets per city? Unless you’re someone as smart and talented in science as mark rober, I think it’s pretty insulting to say he manipulated the results.
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, who in Disney Security got to keep that money? Ethically, and I'm pretty sure by policy, if they aren't a food server, housekeeping, or porter, or other similar position, can't take cash tips. 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 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😌 (Edit was fixing a spelling mistake)
Yes, not trying to brag lol I just was trying to explain that it flew out because there wasn't any doors on the front row of the car or the wind picked it up (we aren't sure which one, those are our "theories") . My apologies if it came off as bragging, not my intention, I just wanted to share a sweet story (:
Being from Michigan I can say that Detroit does not suprise me. Found a wallet one time with $200 in it. Didn't have any license just a green card. Spent the next day tracking down the individual using just their name. Finally was able to via word of mouth, the individual was so happy to get his wallet back that he gave me $100 reward. I refused but they insisted. They told me they were extremely thankful just to have their card back and the money meant little. I was glad to help out, person was almost in tears.

I have a cool lost wallet story. It involved a rival high school band director letting me use an instrument for district honor band and a few years later me finding that exact person’s wallet in a Walmart buggy. What are the odds. Thanks Mr Square!
I'm very certain that the results would be wildly different if there was more than 6 dollars in the wallets. In that case, people hope for a reward bigger than 6 dollars when they return the wallet. A real experiment would be putting 100 dollars in the wallets.
@Will Harper That is the point of this kind of science though. You have a perception of Baltimore Police, for whatever reasons. The real question is, would you change your mind if the data came back disproving your assumptions or would you bend your mind to reinforce what you already believe?
@@soundboardist OK, but that has nothing to do with what I wrote... you literally added a whole bunch of your own thoughts and then responded as if I said them. 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.
That’s funny that Chicago was at the top because a couple years ago my buddy and I went to a white Sox’s game and he lost his wallet, a couple weeks late someone mailed it back to him with all the money in it Edit: he had like 40 or 50 dollars in the wallet
“Are you Patrick Star?” “Yup.” “And this is your ID?” “Yup.” “I found this ID in this wallet. And if that’s the case, then this must be your wallet.” “That makes sense to me.” “Then take it.” “It’s not my wallet.” *screaming*

Upon finding this video, I watched it just to see if Chicago returned the most. I knew it would be! Lost a wallet/purse there about once a year for about 20 years. Always got it back with everything in it! Some people went to great lengths to get it back to me. Thank you, people of Chicago!
What are you, a serial walletloser?
That's pretty ironic considering how much media outakes all of the crime.
Glad you could get them back though!
Uhh maybe you should be more careful if you lose your wallet on a yearly basis
My mom drove for 30 minutes trying to return a old ladys wallet
Edit: Yes she did return it. We we're at a gas station to get gas, and my mom decided to get some snacks. When she got back she returned with a wallet. (Also it was like 7:00) anddd we drove into a nice neighbor hood and returned it to a nice, old lady
Well, she’s a good hearted person

Thats the part when I stopped trusting the results.
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.

This should be shown in science classes. Honestly. It demonstrates _perfectly_ how the scientific method can be applied in the real world whilst being super well made and overall easy to understand. The visuals are amazing and useful, and the data itself is super interesting. Overall, a wonderful video.
How do you know that he has not skwed the data before putting in the video because he doesn't want to offend anyone... race,gender,religion or citiy?
Especially the use of controls! I didn't know how those worked until this video :)
@@blykgod the great thing about science is that, if you question his data, you can reproduce the experiment. If the data doesn't match, then you move on to the third and final round... Where the questions are harder but the prize money doubles!!
Or, you could simply take his word based on his reputation as a scientist. Also, he did state that he expected religion to play more of a factor then the research showed. So I don't feel that this researcher is biased.
Just my two cents..
exactly!
@Liv Ocampo He could replicate the experiment which is one of the great things about peer review and the scientific community. Replicate and/or improve an experiment publish your results and let others critique them. As long as you use consistent logic, close observations and record everything you are doing good science.

Well done sir knight.
Same exact thing happened to me. It was in a cart outside. I didn't even touch it. I figured she was just putting groceries up and then forgot, but since there could be a chance of foul play, i didn't want my prints on it and pushed cart to customer service after telling the greeter and left it with them. I'm sure they found her or she realized and called them. How panicked did she feel upon realizing it wasn't with her? Had to be terrible!!!!

My brother accidentally got into someone's car thinking it was his rental... He realized his mistake, but forgot his wallet with over $1000 in cash in the car. The wallet was returned with all the money. The finder refused the offer of reward
Just curious, how does one get into the wrong car? Was it unlocked?
Of course
This has happened to me. Twice!! It occurs when an identical car parks right next to yours. Fortunately both times I noticed someone already in the car when my hand was literally an inch from the door handle lol. Also, cause as a woman, you tend to keep your head up to be aware of your surroundings, so what's right in front of you (like your car lol) tends to be second priority.
That's actually crazy. If I would find one's wallet in my car. I would find that very strange. I would think of bad intentions. It's like finding a wallet in your own house. That would be weird.

If they had contained 500$ instead of 2-4$. I bet the return rate would lower drastically.
Yeah this test isn’t very accurate cuz many people know that Filipino cash is worth less (I don’t know if Filipino is used with an f or ph here)
I think the return rate would be the same but the question if there was any money the answer would be no.
You know he didn't measure one factor, right? Race. He did have people record who picked up the wallets, but chose not to count the percentage via race.
Grubby bum would probably be highest white people lacking turning it in, since the vast majority of Americans are white. Just my thought, plus if he did include it and it was massively higher a certain race it would defeat the point of the video, to start including more people into communities and be more honest. The comments would be filled with aggression which is not the point of the video.
it was $10 dollars total, by $4 he meant the filipino money was $4
When he said Chicago had a 100% return rate, i questioned humanity
Chicago apparently is really the city of brotherly love not philly. Wallets get returned one day and the next day the person its returned to is mugged.

I live in Chicago. This was very surprising. Have had a wallet and a couple phones stolen from me, in secure places, oh and a couple mail packages. It has definitely made me more pessimistic and guarded. So these wallets were definitely dropped in the nicer areas.

Chaosdirge can’t mug anyone if everyone’s losing their wallet
Here's your next experiment, drop 200 wallets into the USPS and see how many are actually returned, full cash ;)
Specifically, Postal Workers make surprisingly decent money and have retirement, post retirement benefits, and pensions still. And a zero tolerance theft policy which strips everything if you're caught.
I worked at the Post Office in Milwaukee for a time. There are one-way viewing ports throughout the building, and there are postal inspectors randomly placed behind them. You do NOT want to mess with postal inspectors, ever, for any reason. They'll getcha.
AuthenTech - Ben Schmanke do it
Katelyn Schmidt its not 100%.. my mother always told me never send money through the postal office so in the span of a month. My brother and I mailed each other 4 envelopes wih about 100 bucks in it all wih 1$ bills sealed tightly. 1 came back with all 100. 2 came back with less than 100$ and the last. The postal office said they lost it. So theres that. It was sealed tightly when sent and came back with extra glue
ForDaLols
It's very safe to send cash through USMail if you use the registered mail option. Costs a bit more, but there is special handling all along the way from sender to recipient, and special attention from the postal inspectors. It's all but guaranteed to get there, and it's insured if it doesn't get there, so you can't lose.
I was homeless 7 years in so calif. And I found several wallets and got back with the people and gave their wallet back. I kept the money in one because I needed it .

“Because Disney hates science” 😂😂
Heaven Green 🤣😂
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, who in Disney Security got to keep that money? Ethically, and I'm pretty sure by policy, if they aren't a food server, housekeeping, or porter, or other similar position, can't take cash tips. 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'm very certain that the results would be wildly different if there was more than 6 dollars in the wallets. In that case, people hope for a reward bigger than 6 dollars when they return the wallet. A real experiment would be putting 100 dollars in the wallets.
Next experiment: turn them in directly to police, with cash in them. See how many and how much cash gets returned.

@Will Harper That is the point of this kind of science though. You have a perception of Baltimore Police, for whatever reasons. The real question is, would you change your mind if the data came back disproving your assumptions or would you bend your mind to reinforce what you already believe?
Yes
@@soundboardist OK, but that has nothing to do with what I wrote... you literally added a whole bunch of your own thoughts and then responded as if I said them.
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.
