I Lost My Wallet in El Segundo… er Illinois

Wallet Test

Paul Kinsella secretly dropped 100 wallets in Belleville, Illinois to see who would return them, and who would keep them.

Each of the 100 wallets contained:
- $2.10 in real money.
- One fake $50.00 gift certificate.
- A clearly written ID card.
- Plus a few miscellaneous items.

At each location, a hidden camera recorded video of the individuals collecting the wallets. On the wallet test website, you can view videos of each wallet being collected.

The $50 gift certificates had a telephone number for redemption, and Paul has some telephone recordings of individuals calling in attempting to redeem the certificates.
