The Most Honest City In The World by samuelkaykay(m): 9:13pm On Oct 14, 2013
Helsinki, capital of Finland is d most honest city in d world, according to a new study carried out by Reader's Digest Magazine.
The magazine dropd 192 wallets around d world in 16
different cities to see what would happen. Each wallet contained the equivalent of $50,
plus a telephone number, a family photo, coupons & business cards.
Helsinki was d city to return most, as it returned an amazing 11 of d 12 “lost” wallets left in parks, near shopping centres & on pavements.
"Finns are naturally honest," said Lasse Luomakoski, a 27-year-old businessman who returned one
of them. "We are a small, quiet, closely-knit community. We have little corruption, and we don't even run red lights."
Mumbai was 2nd with 9 of d 12 wallets
returned, ahead of Budapest (Hungary), where 8 of 12 were
returned.
“I remember being in a car, wen my dad noticed a wallet
by the side of the road,” one 17
year old student explained.
“When we reached the owner he was very grateful: Without the papers in the wallet he would have had to postpone his wedding which was to take place the very same day!”
“However, a woman in her early sixties opened the wallet, & then entered a nearby building. We never heard from her.” reportd d magazine. (dat woman na baddo)
New York also returned 8, followed by Moscow & Amsterdam (7), Berlin
& Ljubljana (6).
Londoners returned 5 of the 12 wallets, alongside Warsaw in
Poland.
The least honest city was Lisbon, which returned jst 1 of d 12 wallets, just behind Madrid, where 2 were returned.
D only 1 returnd wallet in Lisbon wasnt even returnd by locals (indegenes) but a couple driving home from an outing. (atleast 9ja gt brodas :-P)
In total, 47% were returned. Conclusions drawn include that there is no set pattern to those who return lost wallets.
“Age is no predictor of whether a person is going to be honest
or dishonest; young & old both kept or returned wallets; male & female were
unpredictable; & comparative wealth seemed no guarantee of honesty.”
