The Lost Wallet Experiment

    1. Leaving just 12 wallets in one city will not give you any statistically reliable results. Also different neighborhoods will always react diffrently to lost wallets. But in my opinion this is propaganda. Look at Mumbai’s results and then look at the name of the maker.
