I had left my Nikon camera in a shop, when I've realized and ran back, a shop associate was trying to knot it to a chair she just put outside of the shop (so it can be seen).
It was amazing!

Other story I had in Japan. That I lost direction in Kyoto and had no money since all ATM is closed (at night).At some point somebody just stopped his bike and asked where i go. When I told him, he said that I should wait a bit, he will pick up his car and bring me there (in the middle of the night!) .. and so he did.
No place like japan (or at least very few)!
- sjm 10y agoMore than one person I met in Japan told me a story of someone accidentally leaving their wallet on the seat of a train, only for another passenger to chase after them to hand it to them as they left.
- mjevans 10y agoI think people are afraid to do this in the US because they will be suspected of pick-pocketing it or some other form of liability.

- jandrese 10y agoThis doesn't make any sense. If you run to return a dropped phone/wallet to someone they don't accuse you of pickpocketing them. Not unless you maybe drained the wallet of cash first. I've handed people stuff they've dropped many times and usually get a polite thank you for the effort. The idea that they would be hostile to you is just crazy.
- Symbiote 10y agoFor what it's worth, I had this happen in Denmark last month. During the couple of years when I lived at the end of a metro line in London, I must have found about 5 wallets left on the train. All but one were the type that just holds the transport card and perhaps a credit card, but still.
- Hortinstein 10y agohahaah that happened to me at least twice with my cell phone when I was living there. One of the times a girl missed the train she was taking to return it to me.
