World's most honest cities revealed after researchers dropped purse containing £30 to see if it would be returned


It is a classic conundrum and a yardstick of morality - if you found an abandoned wallet, would you give it back?
But while everyone would have their own reasons for keeping or returning a lost item, a new study has revealed which cities worldwide have the best record for acts of honesty.
A total of 16 cities - including New York, London and Mumbai - were put to the test when 12 wallets were dropped in prominent places containing family photographs, contact details and the equivalent of £30 in cash.

Of the 192 wallets, just under half were returned, but the results varied strikingly from city to city in the study, commissioned by Reader's Digest.
Finnish capital city Helsinki returned 11 of its wallets, while in Lisbon, Portugal, only one of the wallets was returned - by a couple on holiday from Holland.

Interestingly, the study, which will feature in the October issue of the magazine, showed that whether a place was rich or poor had no effect on whether people kept the money or not.
Mumbai in India scored second-best in the study by returning nine of the 12 wallets, despite the fact that the 3000 rupees they each contained would go a lot further than 43 francs in wealthy Zurich, Switzerland, where only four were returned.

Closer to home, London came joint ninth of the 16 cities tested, returning only five of 12 wallets - the same result as Warsaw in Poland and one worse than Berlin in Germany.

i dont think u can label it as WORLD'S MOST HONEST when just 16 cities from only bunch of selected countries were tested.

This shows the credibility and exaggeration of Western Media. Also is known to sometimes post fake stories as facts.

Not long ago an Irani Couple was beaten in Mumbai brutally and was Robbed by Rickshaw Driver.

So it also depends on which areas in the City they have put into test if they r super posh areas of Mumbai or Normal City areas with Normal standard of living in their city's Population.

But again if this report is true.

Interesting to see they havnt Included any Chinese or Russian or any Communist country. Chinese r economically and prosperity wise miles ahead of Europe and Co. and Indians.

A emergency worker in Moscow described it as his professional duty to give it back, and handed the wallet to a security guard.
