In my opinion, though, these things are driven by a variety of factors.

There is class, of course, to consider, but also cultural heritage and personality type. I think the latter almost has more to do with it than anything.

Hubby grew up solidly middle class and I didn't, yet I would be the one to be very concerned that someone had lost a wallet. One time we found a credit card on the sidewalk. I wouldn't let it go. I had to find the owner or deal with it to conclusion.

He wanted to just call the credit card company and leave it at that. A little effort, but not too much.
