Finders Keepers? - By Norm Russell

The editors of Reader's Digest once decided to do an unscientific survey. The purpose was to examine how honest people were around the world. In an issue of their magazine, they later listed their findings. The magazine editors purposely lost 1100 wallets, each containing $50 in local currency. Each had a name and a phone number so that the finder could call the owners. All told, 44 percent of the wallets were never returned.

How would you have responded if you found a wallet containing $50 and a phone number you could call to return it? Two stories struck me in the article. One woman in Switzerland, well dressed, with a young girl, saw the wallet and pocketed her find with the young girl watching. What do you think she was teaching the youngster she had with her? The other was of a man from Canada who turned in the lost item. It seems the wallet was located in a phone booth, down low. He assumed it was lost by someone in a wheelchair. He felt they needed the money more than he. Maybe so, but before returning the wallet, he was searching for cans and bottles to recycle for cash. His values are in
place. How about yours? --Norm Russell
