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!

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 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.

@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.

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.

@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.

@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.

[The4LA2Baker0]

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.

[xerojreffaj]

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

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?
