In Toronto people find wallets that others may have lost.
A reporter for the Toronto Star, on purpose left 20 wallets all over the city to see what people would do. The results were: 16 wallets were returned , but 4 wallets were kept. The wallets each had $43.77 dollars in them.
Sometimes someone might keep the wallet because there might be MONEY, LOTTERY TICKETS, or maybe ID. But 80% of Torontonians give the wallets back to the owners and maybe if the owners are very happy the people might get a reward.
I want your thoughts about Torontonians being honest and what you would do if you found someone's belongings.

I once saw someone be honest. He found a wallet then the wallet owner saw his wallet the man gave the wallet back.That was very honest!

I am very happy to know that so many people in my city have integrity. It would be so easy (and so wrong!) to pocket the wallet....
ReplyDeleteAnother thought: I am always finding pennies everywhere....every day!!! Don't people value pennies at all any more? Do people just drop them and then not bother to pick them up? I feel very lucky when I find one....
