- bumbledraven 2y agoWhy isn't Japan on the chart? I'd expect the wallets to be returned there almost 100% of the time. Here's a quote from patio11 to illustrate my point: > [Japan] is a place where I could take my daughter to lost-and-found to ask about an acorn, knowing that someone would return an acorn, knowing that someone would clearly expect a lost acorn to be returned and therefore ask.

- hangonhn 2y agoI can here to post the same. It literally happened to us in Japan. My wife left her purse with a lot of cash, credit cards, and her passport at a cafe. She was panicking while I reassured her it’s going to be returned. Sure enough after our long walk back, the store clerk recognized us immediately and gave us the purse. Everything was there.
