Dropped my wallet twice in NYC because I'm a ditz. Never found them again. I found a wallet once with $200 and full of credit cards and ID, and I dropped the ID into a mailbox since the postal office will mail it back to the owner (usually), then dropped off the rest of the wallet to the local police precinct, since the credit cards had the person's name on it that matched the ID. I was given crap for doing that and I should of had kept my mouth shut, and the front desk made me fill out a report and put my information. I had believed that it's just a nice deed and ended up wasting over an hour. When I went to Japan, I left my phone at a local Izakaya in Shinjuku (did I mention that I'm a ditz?), and I circled back to several stores/local police station near the places that I had visited. When I finally reached the same izakaya, one of the chefs (co-owner) handed the phone back to me after I can prove that I can unlock it. This was fucken incredible and I would of had never expected this.
On my third day in Japan I lost my phone at an observation deck, I was able too get it back within the next 24 hours! I also left a 1000 yen note in my pocket and the people at the hotel kept it and gave it back! Truly the most humble society.

I forgot my backpack with a laptop and money on the top rack on a train and recovered it afterwards a couple days later with everything intact including the money. Japanese people are incredibly honest and amazing.
in germany its sometimes even commen to just bring the wallet to the person. i did it by my self a few times if its close by. if not we have letter boxes...its commen to put them into the letter box and the postle service brings them to the people
Same but I lost my Japan Rail Pass,as I was going to station to go hiking, I noticed I didn't have it with me as I was preparing to exit then I went back to the station and yep it turns out a good Japanese Samaritan reported it back to train station. Thank u and love u Japan! Hope to visit u again soon!
As a Taiwanese, non of my things have ever been stolen, we can leave our bag on the table while taking our food and it won’t get stolen. So I didn’t know the danger outside! In Switzerland, I was trying shoes and my bag was stolen. In Canada, I was charging my laptop beside my chair while waiting for my husband, and the laptop got stolen. I mean, to my husband I’m stupid and unaware but to me I simply didn’t experience that in my home country.
The first time I visited Japan, I lost my entire purse (I accidentally left it on a bench). It had my wallet, full of money, and my passport in it. Needless to say, I was freaking out and panicking. Within 15 minutes, someone had found it and had returned it to me. Nothing was missing. I was so impressed. That would never have happened in my home country.
So do the people in south korea 😌 my wife left her wallet by accident in the korean cab and 45 minutes later he came to our hotel room knocked on the door and handed it back to us n mind u she had $5,000usd in her LV wallet 😌
my sister left her wallet in an arcade and she realize that after 2 hours.. went back to the arcade and it was turned in and she was able to get it back with everything in it!.. amazing
Not just NYC, you would never see it again in most cities. If it’s Barcelona or Milan, they wouldn’t even wait for it to fall out but snatch it from your pocket 😅
I'm from Malaysia. I found a ladies purse at a highway rest area. I tracked her down with some difficulty and finally returned it to her. Cash and all.
I left my purse at a restaurant in Tokamachi Japan. My husband called and they said the cordoned off that section of the restaurant to protect my purse. We drove back to get it and they did rope off that section! It was amazing. Really kind people. We go there now every-time we visit family.
My first time in Japan after landing I was going through the security and a woman runs over asking if I had lost my wallet, I checked myself and realized I have indeed lost it, she showed it to me and I was like Yes that is mine, opened it to show my ID within, she gave me a bollocking and told me to be more careful. It was more of a Mum bollocking too, I thanked herself and the team for doing a great job and looking out for idiots like me :') edit: I've never lost my wallet or anything before, this was the first time and I'm glad it was in Japan. (It fell out of my jacket pocket whilst I was asleep on the flight)
One of the best experience I have in Japan is how fast they get my sister's bag when she lrft it in the train. Just around 20 mins and she get her bag without a single thing missing. The most fascinating thing is that they already locate the bag when we go to to lost and found. This is not Shinkansen, just public transport btw.
20+ years ago when i toured japan before moving to live there. a old couple in the tour group left their money pouch on the train it had 5000 pounds in it. within a day it was back with them. there are thieves and bad people in japan but the average person in japan is more honest and kind than any western nation. I accidentally left some of our wedding stuff at the train station.. Nerves had me good someone actually came to the wedding to hand us the stuff.
I am Japanese. My wallet and cards that I lost in Singapore have returned! I think Singapore is the best country for cleanliness, safety and integrity of people. Probably no other country is more civilized than Singapore. I think the international community has a lot to learn from Singapore.
Just came here 3 days ago. One of the most interesting things showing this level of honestly is the lack of turnstiles in the stations. In America we put in so much work trying to prevent people from skipping the train fare, but in Japan, there's no turnstiles at all, everyone just pays.
I live in Berlin (Germany), and i have lost my keys, phones and wallets in the subway or bus SOOO many times!! But till now they were never stolen, they were always bought back to a lost property offices of the transportation agency, once a man even drove 25 min to my school to give back my wallet with all my id's and school card...
The honor code in Japan 🇯🇵 is like no where else in the world. I believe this mentality is based off Bushido of the Samurai code. It is loosely analogous of the European concept of chivalry, but there are differences.
No, it’s not about bushi-do. It’s about “Shinto”. Shinto tells us even nobody watching “ Otento sama/sun god” is watching and knows. And Shinto spirits/gods can be anywhere as anything, it’s in trees,rocks,wind stroke our face etc,anything in nature, heck even dogs, cats, cows any living things. Point is “ do the right things “ just like any other teachings/ religions. Peace!
@@saywhat664 Judaism, Islam and christianity do the same, and I don't see a lot of people implementing these things. Shoot, some countries that are predominantly christian and muslim are the worst places in terms of crime.
In mid-July I went to Japan on a study scholarship and about 3 days later a friend lost her cell phone. At first she was very sad and distressed thinking that she would never get it back. I was very sure that it would appear and I told her that She stopped worrying, about a week later she showed up and she was super happy.
It's the same in Norway - when we find things like mittens, gloves, binkies we hang them on the wall or fence near where we found them so when people come back looking for it they can find it. Wallets are turned in to the police or we call them if we see their name on a card. The only thing not safe here are bikes. For some reason people like to steal bikes and drop them off somewhere random, like they were electric scooters. Japan is so nice!
I Left my phone in a Park and a bus stop in Japan, twice in the same day! I was too focused on something else and ended up leaving it behind. Phone was returned to the closest police station, both times....
I’m in Japan, Just lost my backpack with all my valuables at Disney Downtown Mall Last night. Over 15 hours That it was lost went back When the mall opened, went to the lost and found……They HAD MY BAG. I WAS ECSTATIC! No way this would ever happen in America. I’ve lost so many things in California and never found them. BUT I FOUND WHAT I LOST IN JAPAN!!!! Thank you to the staff/workers for being so kind and even saying how they were glad that i was able to get it back! Love Japan 🇯🇵 ❤
This happened to me! I had a lot of money in my wallet and when I went to find it, all the money was still there. Made me enjoy Japan just a little more.
I am Japanese. I went to Edinburgh, Scotland for a trip and got drunk at a pub called Conan Doyle and left my wallet on the counter. When I realized and went back to the pub, two men who were drinking next to me noticed my wallet and left it with the staff. In London, when I dropped my credit card, an old gentleman picked it up and ran to deliver it to me. Britain is a wonderful country.
My dad lost his wallet back in October 2021 when picking my mom up at the airport and the police tried searching for it but they never found it. Someone must've stolen it and it was never recovered.
I had this experience in Japan way back my mate said you don’t have to worry about losing your things here. But when it comes to Bicycles, yes, a bike it’s a different thing. He said locals would not give a damn about your valuables but whn you don’t lock your bike expect it to be gone within the hour.
@lionelbmessiwell you and i have never been in a REAL war. Will you kill a wild dog and eat when you're in a war and you've not eaten for 10 days? That might change your perspective. This dog and cat eating tradition are dying oit but the oldser generation still do it because they were involved in a REAL war with HUNGER.
I have found wallets and purses in the past. I has NEVER occurred to me to keep any of them. I’ve looked at ID from them and found either them or friends on Facebook so they can get their stuff back. I’ve never taken a reward for returning something either. It’s just the right thing to do.
That would never happen in the states. We were on vacation in SC and my daughter sat her wallet down with almost $300 in it. Within 5 min it was gone. Never turned in…..I jjst hope that the person who took it needed it more than us!
That’s insane, tbh if I ever lost my wallet and it was returned with all the cash gone I would still be thankful that they returned it, imo if they return it they deserve the cash
I remember back in 2008 I was Bangkok with a lot of friends and leave purse full of money and all of our passport along with 1 cellphone in the taxi. Didn’t figured quickly that we left in the taxi, didn’t remember the taxi number since we stop him on the road and didn’t pay attention to him. We call him after 6hours and damn he answered and told us he leave outside Bangkok about our away from the city and he drove back to our house bring everything in intact and refused to take 1 dime from us. Damn he was man of really integrity and I wish him well along his family
Same in Hong Kong and mainland China. My friend left his wallet in a taxi in Beijing, spoke to the police. They managed to track the taxi and return hsi wallet within three hours. Compare this with the UK where my friend who left her bag was told by the taxi driver (and thr police agreed!) to pay £20 if she wants it back.
I also have same experience in Japan. I’m from Korea. And turn in rate of lost items is also high in Korea. I left my cash behind at Keisei Narita airport desk and they found my cash 😮
I left my bag outside a store in Japan (don’t ask why) and when i came outside it was gone! Or so I thought someone kindly put the bag on the side of the store so no one would see it haha such a kind country
I dropped my phone while waiting for the train in Japan. Had no idea it fell until a lady picked it up and handed it to me. It would have been a disaster if I lost it. I was so grateful!
Can confirm the honesty in Japan is amazing. Was clubbing with friends in Osaka and one of my friends left his phone on one of the tables in the middle of the club. We came back half an hour later and it was still sitting there 😅 also use google translate!!!!! No need to call friends for translation 🤦♂️
It's incredible how good a chance you have of items being returned. I left my camera bag on the train to the airport, I had literally got off the train and was onnthe escalator going to the terminal when I realised. I immediately contacted someone at the airport, they found my bag on the train and were able to get it to me although to a different terminal where I was escorted to the location, then escorted back to the departure terminal where they rushed me straight through security bypassing everyone waiting in line and even held the plane a few minutes so that I was able to board and back on the plane to Hong Kong, where literally days before the trip I had my wallet picked from my pocket, which fortunately was my decoy wallet which only had an octopus card with £10 and my old drivers licence which was returned with my updated address after the DVLA contacted me to tell me it had been found, handed into the consulate. Fortunately no bank cards taken or cash as that wasn't in this decoy.
In Japan, you have right to ask for a reasonable reward if you turned in a lost item. And if no one claimed the lost item for a certain amount of time (I believe it’s 30 days)then you can have it.
"The $100 was still in the fold" dawg, that's us money and you're in Japan. Even if they did recognize the money, it would of been a big hassle to exchange it later. However, it still proves the honesty people will have because there were credit cards in there as well.
10% in New York? Not zero?
Yeah he lied🎉
Probably because not everyone reports and so might seem higher.
Even zero is too high for New York.
💀💀💀
I agree that even zero is too high for NYC. It’s usually negative since people will pickpocket and rob you.
-100 % 💀 they stick you up at gun/knife point for it
If you drop your wallet in NYC, it will immediately despawn as soon as it touches the ground and u look away.

The same if you let go off your kids

Didn’t figured quickly that we left in the taxi, didn’t remember the taxi number since we stop him on the road and didn’t pay attention to him. We call him after 6hours and damn he answered and told us he leave outside Bangkok about our away from the city and he drove back to our house bring everything in intact and refused to take 1 dime from us. Damn he was man of really integrity and I wish him well along his family
Same in Hong Kong and mainland China. My friend left his wallet in a taxi in Beijing, spoke to the police. They managed to track the taxi and return hsi wallet within three hours. Compare this with the UK where my friend who left her bag was told by the taxi driver (and thr police agreed!) to pay £20 if she wants it back.
Thats insane how the standards of respect and courtesy in japan are the highest of any country in the world and i love it !!!!!!!!
This is why i love japan all the poeple there are so nice 😂
I also have same experience in Japan. I’m from Korea. And turn in rate of lost items is also high in Korea.
I left my cash behind at Keisei Narita airport desk and they found my cash 😮
Wow, congrats on getting your wallet and cash back! 💚
I left my bag outside a store in Japan (don’t ask why) and when i came outside it was gone! Or so I thought someone kindly put the bag on the side of the store so no one would see it haha such a kind country
The "Wallet" got me dying
Worker: "what have you lost?"
Him: " *w* *a* *l* *l* *e* *t* "
Awesome, i recommend getting something like a Tile card for the next time you lose it :)
I dropped my phone while waiting for the train in Japan. Had no idea it fell until a lady picked it up and handed it to me. It would have been a disaster if I lost it. I was so grateful!
I hate that there are IRL streamers who go out to Japan and harass the people for clout! It makes me sick!
Can confirm the honesty in Japan is amazing. Was clubbing with friends in Osaka and one of my friends left his phone on one of the tables in the middle of the club. We came back half an hour later and it was still sitting there 😅 also use google translate!!!!! No need to call friends for translation 🤦♂️
It's incredible how good a chance you have of items being returned. I left my camera bag on the train to the airport, I had literally got off the train and was onnthe escalator going to the terminal when I realised. I immediately contacted someone at the airport, they found my bag on the train and were able to get it to me although to a different terminal where I was escorted to the location, then escorted back to the departure terminal where they rushed me straight through security bypassing everyone waiting in line and even held the plane a few minutes so that I was able to board and back on the plane to Hong Kong, where literally days before the trip I had my wallet picked from my pocket, which fortunately was my decoy wallet which only had an octopus card with £10 and my old drivers licence which was returned with my updated address after the DVLA contacted me to tell me it had been found, handed into the consulate. Fortunately no bank cards taken or cash as that wasn't in this decoy.
My parents tell me the states was like this in the 60s and 70s. Just honest people. Good for Japan
10% in NYC? Bro must have rounded up!
Bro you loose you wallet in NYC, that shit as good as Thanos snapped outta existence.
In Japan, you have right to ask for a reasonable reward if you turned in a lost item. And if no one claimed the lost item for a certain amount of time (I believe it’s 30 days)then you can have it.
"The $100 was still in the fold" dawg, that's us money and you're in Japan. Even if they did recognize the money, it would of been a big hassle to exchange it later. However, it still proves the honesty people will have because there were credit cards in there as well.
Happens to me as well. The first day I left my bag by accident in a store with 50k yen in it. 5 hrs later, it is still there untouched!
The fact even the moneys still there is amazing
I lost my wallet once in japan and i got it back! Bless their souls
This proves that japan is very respectful❤
Thats actually crazy. If I lost my wallet there I'd probably just give up and assume I was screwed.
