From Chris Brausch, Thames, New Zealand
It seems that lost wallets with more money inside are more likely to be returned than those with smaller sums (29 June, p 17). Someone who finds one will probably consider the amount of trouble they would have to go to in order to return it compared with the benefit to the person who lost it.
Personally, I would think twice about returning a wallet with only a few dollars in it. But if it had a credit card and driver's licence in it, that surely would be the real driver for returning it.
