The people who used the card to donate to charity are kind of big brain to be honest. I'd assume that the reason they did that was because they knew people would inevitably steal all the money anyway, so they wanted to make sure some of it went to a good cause.
I'd hope this to be the case, however it probably isn't. The easiest way to test to see if carded details are still active is to try and make a donation, Wikipedia was the main one back in the day due to it only requiring the card details and not the address or any other information of the card owner.
Ya. Some people are skeptical, but giving money to charity is pretty normal I would think. If you stumble upon extra money you don't need, you should give it to those who need it.
A charitable donation is a quick way of testing if a card is still active, it's a known process for card thieves because you normally don't have to bother adding your address or arranging any type of delivery. It's so common I'm surprised it only happened in 3 of the locations.

I found a wallet in Loughborough one day and gave to a police officer nearby, he just looked at me and said, "what do you want me to do with that?" 🙄 I was fairly sure the police are meant to take your details and put into lost property. After a period of time, the lost item is yours if unclaimed! He wasn't very helpful...
I feel as though the Cardiff bike was a bit unfair. It looked abandoned, same with Bristol. They were in bushes whilst the rest were in normal streets.
i recognised the areas in both cardiffs and bristol ones. being a student at one & living in the other. they were both in busy areas. although yes the cardiff one looks abandoned lol
He's got to rig it to make sure the north wins after all :) I also noticed the Newcastle and Glasgow bikes seemed the least abandoned. (Newcastle one was right outside a building so people might've been worried the owner would come out)
I don’t think how fast people spend money from a card on a billboard is a good metric for how honest they are. If you’re putting it up on a billboard, you’re advertising for it to be used. That’s literally what billboards are for, advertising. Best believe I would’ve used that card in a heartbeat
You overlooked a significant factor in your assessment of honesty. When assessing the honesty levels of cities by conducting these experiments, considering the percentage of individuals who choose not to take these items in relation to the city's population may offer a more accurate and standardized measure than simply examining the duration it takes for the items to be stolen.
I think if I saw bank details on a billboard I would take a photo and spend money immediately as they clearly have money and want us to spend it if they’re putting bank details on a billboard so I don’t think people spending it is a bad thing

That’s crazy how was the Glasgow bike not stolen😂my friend lives in a flat and her bike was outside her door and someone came up the close and stole it lol
This was a great video, and I loved the way it has been edited but thete are some flaws in this experiment. Each city has low and high crime rate areas. So the location of where you left the items matters a lot. Also, some of the bikes looked like they had been abandoned and not left there by someone. I know that if I saw a bike that looked like it had been abandoned and was in good shape, then I would consider taking it
man the amount of quality your content has grown from the BG Media days to these high budget, Sidemen quality videos is remarkable. Been here since 500k, super proud to see how far you've come.
Years ago when me and my brother where young we found a purse in a phone box if i remember it had like £50 in it or something crazy but we gave it to the police station and a few days later they got it back to the owner and we got like £5 or something each from the lady could have kept the money but we knew it was wrong to do so never
This is not fair at all. 😂😂 Leaving bicycle leaning by a wall or even better in a bike stand is nowhere near the same as tossing it into nettle bushes... I think I'm quite honest and I would never steal a bike leaning by a wall. But I would definitely take the one in the grass as I would consider it thrown out and would even feel good as I've helped to clean the neighborhood... 😀 And the card experiment is total nonsence 🤣 I would immediately try the card number because it's on a BILLBOARD. It was totally intended to be put there and the one who put it there clearly assumes I'm going to try it - so It's even arbitrary junk number or I'm totally supposed to use that money. 😉 Fun fact: There actually was a very similar (but much smaller) advert in the Prague's subway station Muzeum. I wanted to try it, but the card number was just arbitrary 123456... 😪
as a welsh person, I 1000% knew Cardiff would steal the bike first, our transport is shit and they’re always stealing bikes. Someone literally stole my pumpkins yesterday! but it’s definitely not fair to put us in the ‘south’ category 😂
If you try to go any more south, you're literally in the sea 😂you think "North" is a better category for South Wales? At least you guys got included, they did absolutely nothing anywhere in Northern Ireland despite saying "up and down the entire country" :/
