After a lot of study they found out the least likely wallet to be returned is the one with a lot of cash.

They should have put a GPS Tracking Device in the wallets and arrested anyone who kept them. Not sure what the charge would be, but I would love to see the look on their faces when the Cops showed up.

But heck, that’s just me.

I’ll hedge my bet by carrying a picture of a baby WITH a puppy.

” Those containing the picture of the infant were most likely to trigger an honest reaction from the finder, with 88 per cent being returned, followed by those containing pictures of the puppy at 53 per cent.

Of those featuring the family snapshot, 48 per cent were sent to the return address and only 28 per cent of those with the picture of the elderly couple.

Wallets containing the charity cards and the control sample were least likely to be returned, with rates of 20 and 15 per cent respectively. “

So if they included pictures of a baby, a puppy, the family, and the grandparents, along with a charity card they’d get back 237% of the wallets!

Nonetheless, that’s pretty interesting. Makes me a bit happier about people.

Put in a card that says you offer a substantial reward if the wallet is returned. That might work better than a baby.
