I'd be more inclined to turn in a wallet with an ID, regardless of whether it contained any money. Those things are a PITA to replace!

I agree. I don't care about the money or the cards in my wallet, but having to go to the DMV to get my license replaced would be the absolute worst part.
But most sane persons will block their ID and make a new one as soon as they see they lost it.

Without it someone could get a credit based on this ID and you wouldn't have a strong case in court that you didn't take it.

Actually the wallet in the study just contained some business cards, no ID or credit cards.
Wallets are pretty cheap, if I found one with just some business cards and no money I'd in all honestly just toss it in the trash and assume it was litter...
And in fact it was nothing more than a clear plastic business card holder. It looked like trash to me.
