Apparently, if you want to improve the chances of having your wallet returned to you if you lose it, it helps if you have a photograph of a baby in it:
Those containing the picture of the infant were most likely to trigger an honest reaction from the finder, with 88 per cent being returned, followed by those containing pictures of the puppy at 53 per cent. Of those featuring the family snapshot, 48 per cent were sent to the return address and only 28 per cent of those with the picture of the elderly couple.
I obviously need to replace that photo of an elderly couple (me and Martin) in my wallet with a cute photo of a drooling baby…
