Researchers conducted a global study where they "lost" over 17,000 wallets in 40 countries.
Surprisingly, people were more likely to return wallets with money in them than empty ones.
Why? The researchers believe it's because keeping a found wallet with money feels more like stealing, triggering our innate desire to be seen as honest by our community.
