    I’ve been on the flip side of this. You’re so panicked about getting your wallet back, and wondering if it was carelessness or thieves, that you don’t even think of giving a reward if you get it back.

    I think the worry about thieves also primes us to not want to give money, too, but that’s just speculation.

    I’ve also been the one delivering a lost wallet full of cash and got no reward, lol.
