  • 43% of the ape nigger, orangutan, subhuman trash stole the wallets. Lock these disgusting animals in cages and beat them into submission.

  • Typical subhuman ape niggers.

  • I doubt 12 will get returned. Straight into the pocket lol.

  • This seems interesting and right-minded, but not exact.

    As for the comments, since I'm black, I just wish people were more sincere and stopped looking for reasons to be racist. Be what you are, just be honest about it; don't find excuses for what you are, embrace it.

  • the moral of the story is that n1ggers steal right? like you had to tell anyone that.

  • I'm not racist nor intend to, and apologise if I have offended anyone, but the majority of the stolen wallets were black men, just saying.

  • It is not dishonest and stupid to find a wallet, it is dishonest and stupid to film people in public and post them on youtube calling them dishonest and stupid. Did you ask these people for permission to post this on youtube?

  • INACCURATE TEST

  • I tried something similar. I stole a hundred wallets and didn't return any of them but I did buy a plasma TV.

  • If you find something on the street and pick it up, that is NOT stealing. That is simply keeping what you found. Also, not returning it doesn't make you dishonest, maybe indifferent and/or selfish, but not dishonest.

  • @The4LA2Baker0 That is stealing. Indifferent would be leaving it on the floor.

  • Actually, "leaving it on the floor" would be indifference to the presence of the wallet, not indifference to the well being of others. Also, to say that is stealing is ridiculous. Simply picking it up could have been with the intention of returning it. Regardless, If I find $100 in the gutter(or a quarter, the amount isn't of significance regarding morals and law), and pocket it, that does NOT make me a thief. The idea itself is simply preposterous and I hope you misspoke or I misunderstood.

  • @The4LA2Baker0 The guy who did this test gave them a month to call in and return it. So if someone had the intention of returning it that's fair enough.

    And... if you find £100 in the gutter you have no clue who it belongs to. If you find a wallet with an ID and phone number you do. That's why one's stealing and the other's not.

  • @xerojreffaj Even if you keep the wallet it STILL isn't stealing. It's dishonest, and morally questionable, but i would NEVER convict a man of theft for keeping a wallet they found in the street. I believe they have laws pertaining to this in some places called "Good Samaritan" laws. The issue at hand isn't whether it's right or wrong to take a wallet, it's obviously not proper to keep something that isn't yours, but the issue is whether or not its stealing or theft, it isn't.

  • Finders keepers

  • @DropkickMurphys12 typical nigger talk

  • just lost my wallet along with my gym bag with $140 + credit cards, driver lisense etc. in there. whoever took them and not return should go to hell

  • I done this with a coin in the school cafeteria

  • Are mail always gets messed up around our town. And i was supposed to be getting $20 in the mail from an old babysitter. The card, or the money never came. And obivously my name was on it. Everyone in the town knows eachother. Goes to show you can't trust ANYONE! :|

  • all the people stealing are nig.gers

  • racist ass !!

  • @ayana2cool im a nazi what do you expect

  • i should put a fake 50 dollar gift certificate in my wallet just incase anybody ever steals it.

  • Who`s going to steal a wallet with 2 dollars? Throw in a hundred and see what happens, I`m sure the stats will change drastically. Trow in 500 in each wallet the honesty stats would plummet even further.

  • This test is flawed because the wallets don't contain enough value.

  • sth similar was done using mobile phones in 20 capitals of the world. i think stockholm was the most honest.

  • Fuck I lost my wallet. Fuck all the dishonest people

  • I checked the website. black people was split 50/50ish for those honest compared to white people who where closer to 1/4 dishonest. Just goes to show the black bring it on themselve "oh, poor me. you're arresting me cos i'm black"

    "Well sir, i arrest black people cos statiscally your the ones commiting the crimes. not cos i hate the colour black or feel any kind of predjudice towards ur race"

  • lol

  • color wont matter in the end...

  • well actualy it shows that yes blacks have a % higher than whites but the most amazing fact is WOMEN more honest than MEN!

  • Rav, This IS a good test, but you still can't generalize by saying one group is more honest than another one. 100 is still a fairly small sample size, and stealing wallets isn't a universal litmus test of honesty.

  • OMG The results will be SO different if it was done on a larger scale. Blacks will SO not have a higher tendency to keep the wallet. Nope, not at all. Blacks are responsible for over 50% of ALL crimes in the U.S. And they're 13% of the population? SHOCKING!

  • WTF? I was talking about women vs. men. But now that you brought it up, in order to test the honesty of black people, this experiment would need to repeat the test in an affluent area vs a poor area. That way, you can know if the people stole the money because they are poor and money is a bigger temptation that it is for rich people.

  • well one can also argue that blacks get prosecuted more than other races in criminal cases. just because 50% of blacks commit crimes doesn't mean others don't - they might just not be prosecuted for it or be in jail for it.

    you can also argue that dropping 100 wallets around a medium-sized city isn't as good as dropping 100 wallets around one small area of one city. and if you look at the site, the sample size for blacks were really small. only 23 blacks were tested compared to 77 whites.

  • @Animiam Racial profiling has nothing to do with that though... Cops and courts don't act more vehemently towards "minorities", predominantly black people.

    The worst criminals are almost all white. As an example, look at all the notorious serial killers.

  • But, then you'd have to say that such and such an amount of people who LOOK black returned or kept the wallets and not such and such an amount of people who ARE black returned or kept the wallets. It's useless.

  • It would be stereotyping if it was obvious. Are all the black people only African, then? What about the white people? They're all just white, and not Italian or Polish-American, or whatever?

  • great stuff.. sucked in to those losers who got caught..

  • so all those ppl are in on it ? if not then it is quite clear that ppl who steal look like fuckheads.. the race card plays itself.. i saw the video and it didn't look like he placed the wallets in a way that one race might act differently to another..

  • was it just me, or did it seem like the host was getting annoyed?

  • How did he verifiy their race? Also, a 100 person sample has a huge margin of error.

  • How did he verifiy their race? Also, a 100 person sample has a huge margin of error.

  • As soon as I heard the dude say he tested results on race too,I instantly knew some one would scream racist in the comments:) I swear to god a person cannot even say the word "black" or "white" without some sad moron screaming "RACIST" Its very sad.

  • I once lost my wallet. it had a $50 bill.. the founder took the $50 and sent me the wallet with all my ID's. Although greasy, i still commend the person for sending the wallet because its such a hassle to get all the ID's again.

  • white people live there too. :P

  • notice how the ppl who take the wallets are black?

  • Honest/dishonest? Finders keepers!

  • yikes. i wouldnt have bothered returning it with just 2 bucks in it.

  • I don't understand why he broke it down to race. What does that have to do with anything? You can't even distinguish ethnicity from race, and really it has absolutely no relevance. Economic and educational status would make more sense, but I suppose that would have been difficult to do. Too many flaws in this test. Seems kind of unfair that he brought race into it.

  • Because, blacks are more prone to committing crime than white people. Im not racist, but when your raised in a harsh enviroment with drugs and dirty money, then anyone could be "prone". it just so happens that more blacks live in those places.

  • oh and i also bet the returning of it depended on what was in the wallet, and if the ID was a female or male

  • who gives a flyin fuckin kite.

  • To understand the world, look within; when things get hard, keep it simple. If you must ask, then you don't know.

  • Results will vary and yet stay the same (throughout the world) depending on the amount of money in the wallet in addition to area, the class of people and economic standing within the region, not race. Put a billion in each wallet and you'll get 1 back.

  • In my case I lost mine recently... I had 90€, about a 100$ and this guy who found it, drove to my house after calling me just to return it. So I still have faith in humanity...

  • if you had $200 in the wallet, the results might have been slightly different mate

  • Which would be a great experiement for someone or something like a news program, who had $2,000 to spare in the event that no one returned any of the wallets. Not to mention you would also have to purchase $100 wallets.

  • If that was Detroit 74% would have stolen the wallet, and the video recorder, and the rims off the nearsest truck, and shot the Dude who set it up. Allegedly.

  • I challenge the publisher to conduct another test in south Atlanta and see how the numbers turn out.

    Black people down there will steal your wallet then help you look for it.

  • sorry for my comments below being in 2 parts but the comment would have been 2 long 2 post...lol

  • So, of the 23 black people tested:

    57% (13) were honest and returned the wallets.

    43% (10) were dishonest and kept the wallets.

    Ones who stole were at: 0:55, 1:05, 1:19, 3:20, 3:51, 6:07, 6:19, 7:02, 4:28(he had his kids with him), and 5:35(he got out of his car while driving to steal it!!!) (only some blacks returned them like at 1:58, and 3:34, 3:38, 6:02, 6:04, 6:59, 7:26, 7:28, 7:33)

  • The percentages in my comment below were from: w w w . wallettest . c o m

    I only saw 10 blacks who stole and 9 who returned from the video above. Thats a total of 19.

    Plz tell me i miss calculated this. I wuz hopin that people would know we weren't all theives. I mean i would return it.(yes i am black and i aint no thief)

  • This is a very unreliable study, as anyone who has taken any statistics class will attest to. The sample size is way to small to determine any generalization of a population. The only conclusion probably worth stating is the point of that most people are honest. All other conclusions cannot be determined because the study is much too inaccurate. This wasn't conducted scientifically and is generally worthless.

  • I agree. He didn't compare equal numbers of Blacks and Whites either so the percentages will be affected by that. He tested more Whites than he did Blacks. Very inaccurate study.

  • how is it innacurate if that is the ratio of races in the town that this test was done in? I would call it an accurate representation. Also, race has very little to do with the outcome aside form the fact that black people in general own 1/16th of their white counterparts and would therefore more likely be in economic need and more likely to steal

  • 1/16th is off....way off. The fact that the Black community lacks MORAL father figures is the reason they steal more. I am poor and I do not steal. IT IS MORALS.

  • 1/4 of the subjects were of minorities, and of which 57% returned the wallet, compared to the 79% of white people who returned it. If you would like to challenge my statistics I suggest you take a look on good old google and see for yourself instead of just dismissing it. The ratio of wealth could easily explain the difference, this is my major in university my friend.

  • Let me clarify, when I say that they "own 1/16th" I am referring to their wealth, not income. A persons with an income of 30,000 is much wealthier than a person whose income is 25,000, when you consider what a huge chunk of their income goes towards living costs. It would level out to something like the average black man saving 2,000 a year compared to a white man saving 32,000 a year.

  • Have you been on Welfare? Have you lived in HUD? NO! I AM WHITE, I am turning into a minority! We PAY for over half the Black communities housing(through HUD and Section 8) If thiss test was done in Baltimore, there would be alot more Black and you know what, the crime rate will go up because there are more 'bad apples' in the city than Ill. This was totally random, and it is a shame that the race thing didn't even out- but it was random.

  • I understand it makes the Black community look bad, but your qualms should be with the theives not the documentary. What is race anyway, God got creative there too. Race is what YOU make it.I think it is a shame that any PERSON stole let alone there race. Ill. is country, so the ratio of Blacks/Whites is different. Just like if you go to Baltimore, there is more black than white there. We should be focusing on the 26% going WTF?!? We got to promote morals across the board.

  • If you think race plays such an impact on morals, take a look at crime statistics in a country where black people are not the minority, and see how much it changes. Try to still judge the whole race then. Races dont even exist anyway, they are socially constructed. There is more difference between two white people thne there is a white and black man in their DNA.

  • I NEVER SAID MORAL AND RACE GOES HAND IN HAND. YOu are playing victim here. I believe EVERYONE should be held moraly accountable. The crime stats from Black nations in Africa ARE SICK. THAT TOTALLY DISPROVES YOUR POINT! If you read what I said you would realize how stupid your last comment was. Race has nothing to do with morals but you took my words and made them say what YOU wanted them to. GROW UP and learn to read

  • You sure are getting upset about this. I did make a mistake, however I am certainly not playing victim. I am white, and I misread your first comment slightly. I jumped when I read something about "blacks not having morals." In fact the crime stats for most of those countries are not far from america at all (some better no doubt), if you exclude the obvious few with the major problems. I think you should take your own advice and try to "grow up." Mistakes happen.

  • all the black people stole them!!

  • true

  • Less Black people were tested than White people. That is a flaw in this experiment. If he would've compared equal numbers then maybe but No. Look at the website. I think it was something like they tested lets say 40 White people and about 20 Black people so obviously you won't get a fair result from that. Think about it.

  • this is so frustrating to watch. i just lost my wallet in the streets in pasadena somewhere, and it looks like it didn't get returned. i just don't get how those people could just look at a wallet and think, "cool, i found a wallet" and not, 'oh no, someone lost there wallet.' Do they just have no basic bottom line morality? wtf is wrong with you idiots!

  • I'll do it if you pay for it. My contact information is on the website.

  • figures all the ones that are stolen are from black people...hahaha

  • Awesome, I live in Belleville. I heard about this on Penn Radio too.

  • They did!? Do you have a link? What did they say?

  • love the idea. heard about it on the Penn Jillette Radio Show.

  • You did? Is that online radio or regular radio? Is that Penn of "Penn and teller" fame?

  • Yes, it's that Penn. I don't know if anyone's told you this already, but they talked about it on the show on Jan. 29th. You might be able to find it on iTunes or a torrent somewhere.

  • great!

  • Interesting idea, now need to be done more reliably and widely:

    location (town and place), more sample, not droping in the face of people, seperate group find, etc ?)
