A survey was conducted by Reader's Digest magazine where they dropped wallet in 16 cities  to check how many of them were returned.

Each dropped wallet   contained things like  a name with a cellphone number, a family photo, coupons,  business cards, plus cash  equivalent of $50.

 

The cities in question were Amsterdam, Berlin, Bucharest, Budapest, Helsinki, Lisbon, Ljubljana, London, Madrid, Moscow, Mumbai, New York, Prague, Rio De Janeiro, Warsaw, and Zurich.

 

During the survey, it was found that Helsinki of Finland is the most honest city. Mumbai which secured second place has returned nine wallets out of 12 dropped wallets.. However, Lisbon in Portugal was the bad performer as out of 12 dropped wallets only one returned. To top it off, who returned the single wallet, were not from Lisbon visitor from Netherlands.
