If you're going to lose your wallet, the best time to do so is while visiting a museum, it has been found.
Researchers discovered lost wallets are significantly more likely to be returned to the owner if they are found in a cultural centre than anywhere else. The experiment was conducted by "dropping" 100 wallets around the UK with each containing £10, a photo, receipts and contact details, to see how many were returned.
Over all, only 1 in 5 were reunited with their owner, but in museums this increased to 50%. Wallets dropped in cafes were the least likely to be returned.
