Tourists in Tokyo lose their wallets constantly. π
Then something strange happens.
The wallet shows up at a police box. Cash still inside. Sometimes with a note from the person who found it.
Every neighborhood in Japan has a koban, a tiny police station on a corner, and turning in what you find is drilled into children before they can read.
There is no reward. There is no camera watching. Nobody claps.
You just do it.
A society is not held together by its laws.
It is held together by what people do when nobody is looking. π―π΅
