Uh, Operation Lucky Bag and the fact he wasn’t charged lead me to believe there is nothing else.
You don’t believe cops are stupid? LOL Seriously?
It’s pretty clear. They are leaving wallets out in the open and then stopping people. Not only is that entrapment, it’s creating problems where there weren’t any. Why not leave a bag next to an undercover to see if anyone reaches in or grabs the bag, rather than just leave a wallet around.

No one is THIS stupid. You can't even call this stupid. It would be s-t-o-o-o-o-p-i-d!!!
Anyone who is going to set up a sting will want the net to catch law breakers. If I see a wallet on the ground, I will pick it up. Then I'll take a run at finding the owner.
If that's illegal, call me a criminal.
If I'm on the jury when such a guy is brought in, I'll be held in contempt because I won't able to control my laughter.
If this guy turned out to be an illegal alien, I would suggest he be turned loose and any cop associated with this be deported to this guy's native land. That would be a net plus for the United States.
Indeed, I think cops can be as stupid as college professors. Seriously, though, c'mon...no one is this stupid.
