"Wallet drop test".

Four continents, 16 cities, 192 "lost" wallets. That's the basic formula for a recent sticky fingers experiment by Reader's Digest.

Reporters from the magazine dropped wallets in parks, on sidewalks and near shopping malls in international cities from New York to Mumbai and waited to see how people would respond. Each wallet contained the equivalent of $50, a cell phone number, business cards, coupons and a family photo.

Bottom line? Nearly half -- 47% -- of the wallets were returned.

With slide show of results:

I can see how the small sample size might make the results unreliable.
