Situations occur all the time when people loose personal belongings on trains and buses and people who find the lost article give it to the buses driver or some other transit worker. My sister lost her wallet and a few weeks later a police officer traced down where she lived (because she moved) and returned the wallet. My friend who is a plumber was do some work for a widow and found almost $10,000 in cash in a bag hidden behind a radiator, and gave the money to her. She never knew her husband hid the money, he could of easily walk out with it, but he didn't - he said it was a matter of conscience. Even though the odds of finding something valuable is decreases as the value goes up it not such impossible occurrence, people are still honest and trun things in - regardless of value. See people turn lost items in all the time, so it's not impossible for that guy who found the wallet on the subway train to turn it in, it is just a matter of conscience. Who knows if commuters were complaining about having items stolen, and police baited him because they were trying to catch a pick-pocketer.
