Oh, sorry but a blanket statement like that is not true at all. Depends on where you are. When I was younger I used to have a problem with leaving my purse in various places around the country on my travels and I always had it returned by kind strangers. Thankfully! When I worked at Disney World we always had people turn in wallets and other lost items. Just the other day I found a wallet at the Seattle airport when I was flying out. Just as I was turning it in the owner came up and he was able to get his wallet back. Of course he was quite grateful and thanked me profusely.

Glad your wife got her wallet back! Happy day.
