That may seem likely on the surface, but poor people value what they have because they have so little. So that may, in theory, cause them to be more concerned about the lost wallet. If the roles were reversed, they would definitley want someone to return THEIR wallet.
Not that the Golden Rule is the driving force, but I wonder if there is some unconcious thought that comes into play.
But maybe my perspective is skewed by the type of poor people I have known (often immigrants) . . .
