A sociological experiment was conducted in Illinois called the "Wallet Test". You can read about it at:
http://www.wallettest.com/
Basically the researchers deliberately "lost" 100 identical wallets (containing money and ID) in public places to test people's honesty.
The test results were broken down by age, gender and race ----> http://www.wallettest.com/Lost_Wallet_Test/Results_Page.html

So what do you guys think? Any surprises?

I keep being reminded on a daily basis how evil human beings can be to each other.....I would be more impressed with a test that showed me 75% of Illinoisans felt bad about be selfish gits and then went out of their way to make everyone they met...(s) lives a tad better.
